I have an Ultra 10 with 128mb of ram in it.
I have an SUN PGX64 card in one of the pci slots.

./m64config -prconf

--- Hardware Configuration for /dev/fbs/m640 ---
ASIC: version 0x7c004750

        640x480x85, vga, svga, 1152, 1280, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024
        1152x900, 1600x1280, 1920x1080, 1600x1000, 1920x1200, 1600x1200
Possible depths: 8, 24
Current resolution setting: 1152x900x66
Current depth: 8

atj#

If I try and set the resolution higher than the default it says I don't
have enough memory but when I say yes anyways and reboot the machine it
always reverts back to 1152x900x66.

What is the highest resolution I can have in my current configuration??

./m64config -res 1600x1200x75 -depth 8
m64config: Cannot verify that 1600x1200x75 is a supported video
resolution for this monitor
m64config: Use 1600x1200x75 anyway (yes/no) ?

Thanks Much.
