i830M chipset

[Shawn Tayler]

BTW Guys,

This is in the man page and is troubling.  Is there a util to show me what
the video bios is reporting?

The driver makes use of the video BIOS to program video modes for the 830M
and later.  This limits the video modes that can be used to those
provided by the video BIOS, and to those that will fit into  the 
amount  of  video memory that the video BIOS is aware of.

I am wondering if this is what is holding me up.  I have the system bios
set to 8M but  I am not sure the what the video is saying.
