'out of memory...' error message

[buk 0]

And the rest of the message is: "Is there another framebuffer device?"

 

That happens under:

SuSE Linux 8.1 fully updated

Processor AMD Athlon 1.7 GHz

512 MB of RAM

Graphic card: SiS 630

 

When:

Running any sort of application that needs 3D acceleration.

 

That does not occur with Red Hat 8.0 with the same hardware specified.

 

I appreciate any comment or help.

Have you installed 3d acceleration? If not then do so if you can.

Also try using mem=512m at the boot prompt before linux loads, linux might be getting mixed signals from the bios about the ram so this should clear that if it is a problem.
