Assuming you're using Xfree, look for the entry 'Virtual X Y' where 'X
Y' is your virtual resolution.  You can reduce it to the size of the
resolution you're using, but if you have other resolutions that are
larger, they won't work.  How are you determining that it is using all
your video memory?  

Must be nice to have 8 meg of video memory. :)  I've got 4, but remember
when I had 512k... :)
