- 'not enough memory' probaby refers to your video card. If your 'Virtual'
- line specifies a screen size larger than your video memory can handle,
- you will get this error. Width times height should note be more than
- your video memory size.
-
- I've finally had some success myself with a 90c30. The numbers that
- finally worked:
-
- "640x480" 14 640 672 776 808 480 480 487 504
- "800x600" 20 800 832 968 1000 600 600 607 630
-
- The 800x600 mode is slightly left of center so it needs some adjustment.
