Changing the amount of shared video RAM

deep.blue LQ Newbie Registered: Apr 2007 Location: RO Distribution: slackware Posts: 4 Rep:	Changing the amount of shared video RAM Hello, I have a MSI L720 laptop with i915/8M shared video (1.5 Celeron M). It has a BIOS setup that has so few options that I can hardly find it usefull at anything. My problem is that it perform very bad in Flight Gear, or even ActionCube (no way to play Nexuiz in realtime). And I uninstalled Beryl because was way too slow. It has a slackware11+xorg7.0 with acceleration on (glxgears ~500 fps in window) Maybe a 32M may be an advantage. Since I can not change the value from BIOS setup, is there any posibility to do something like 915resolution does with video modes ? I mean changing RAM allocation imediately after boot. Probably this question sounds odd, but I would like to find at least if anyone already tried. Best Regards, Teodor
