    How to activate hypermemory in ATI card

    Hieveryone,
    After installing OS 11 and the new Ati drivers everything works fine but mysystem has only 64mb video memory while on windows it had 256 mb video memory?! I think its a function of the driver and shared memory, any idea how toactivated on linux if at all possible?
    thanks

    How much memory does your computer have? It is odd to have a shared memory video using 256meg memory.

    There might be a configuration file that will fix that but you will have to get the info from the ATI web site or user forums.
