Sorry - I expected it to be something simple...

Okay, I get:

30something Meg I think...

>How much RAM do you have?

Only 8+1Mb :(

>Which kernel and X server are you using?

4740 and Xarm27

I suspect that the problems are down to one of three things:

1. I've set it up wrong (most likely)
2. I've not got enough RAM
3. It doesn't like my hardware

Any ideas?

cheers,
