there's no problem in my system, ATI VGA wonder 512k, BIOS version
V3-1.05 and SONY 1304 monitor.  ISC X windows release 1.1 ATI VGA driver works
in 800x600x16 mode (at least in my case) with 512k installed only.
there's a utility program, ATI-INFO supplied with the adapter, that
can be used to find out how much memory your adapter recognizes.  i
used ATI-INFO to find out there was a bent pin in one of memory chips.
