This box will be acting as a simple X terminal logging in XDMCP to a RH9 
box at 1024x768 16bit color so it will never need more than 1.5MB for 
video.  I guess there is usually a way to partition the memory in the 
bios setup?  This is the first machine that I've worked on that used 
that shared video/system memory stuff.
