Maximum usable memory without patching the kernel is 960M. If your BIOS does
not report the amount of RAM correctly to your Linux, you have to help it:
append mem=256M to your kernel parameters upon boot (/etc/lilo.conf).
> (2) X-window could not be used anymore.
There can be various reasons for this. The most famous one (compiled 2.0.3x
with egcs) is not true for you.
Can you check whether with your current config, X runs on 2.0.3x?
If yes, look out for a kerneld running in 2.1.xx. It shouldn't as kmod does
the job now.
If no, the problem is with your setup. Maybe you have setup your X
incorrectly. (E.g. Links /usr/X11R6/bin/X and /var/X11/bin/X ...) With new
XF86 dists, you need to use the Xwrapper, if you want to start X as
non-root (xinit does it for you, however)
What VGA do you have? Is it correctly setup by your PCI BIOS? Have a look at
/proc/pci (or lspci -v).
Hope this helps.
