For your information, i am running WBCTRL & FBLIT and i have about 1.6mb of
chip and almost 2mb of fast consumed additionally to what I got from 3.1,
when i ran 3.1 I had around 1.9mb of chip. and YES I Have a picasso gfx
card.
So Alex, as you can see I am using them and there is still no answer to it.
ANd YES, I think glowicons are silly, but that is my preference. The main
thing here is still the BIG memory use..maybe some with 100+ mb of ram do
not worry about it but others do.
Appreciate your answer even though it had little effect to solving the
problem. Alex, next time try to ask what an individual is using instead of
assuming everything, and we know what assume means..heh.
Have a nice day.
