    You can edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config file .
    It is my understanding that X probes the ram so the ram option does not need to be included.

    You can also reconfigure your file by running xf86config from the command line.

    cheers

    simplest way is to be roto and edit the /etc/XF86Config-4 file (mdk) or /etc/XF86Config (RH)

    look in the device section for a line called video memory
