I have a problem with my video card and hope that someone can help me.

I have a Matrox Millennium II video card and am currently running Red Hat 6.0,
with Gnome and Enlightenment window manager.   My video card has 4 Meg
of RAM and I am running the window manager at 1280x1024.   The problem
that I am having is that I run out of colormaps with only a couple of windows
open.



I ran SuperProbe and here is the results:

First video: Super-VGA
 Chipset: Matrox Millennium II (PCI Probed)
 RAMDAC:  TI ViewPoint3026 24-bit TrueColor DAC w/cursor,pixel-mux,clock
   (with 6-bit wide lookup tables (or in 6-bit mode))



It doesn't return anything about Memory.   Does this mean that it doesn't detect
the memory of the video driver doesn't check for it?

I am using XF86_SVGA as the video driver.
Below is the video section of my XF86Config file.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Scott
