    Hey everyone,

    I have a toshiba M70-dl3 that I have installed Ubuntu on. The graphics card is set at 16megs although it can go up to 128, I don't know how to adjust it. I have tried the Bios no option and I have tried editing the Xorg.conf but still at 16. Anyone got any ideas?

    On my laptop, the dated computer in my signature, you right-click on the desktop> properties> settings> advanced settings. From there I could adjust the frame buffer for my video card, anywhere from 16MB to 128MB. I'm not sure if its the same with yours, but just try that anyways.

    I assume you did this in Windows?

    Most BIOS' are where I've seen those settings done, at least that's where it is on my parent's Compaq's. But it's probably a driver-specific thing, and if the open-source drivers don't support it, you may be SOL.
