What this means is that your card does not have enough memory to do 3d
acceleration at your current resolution/depth.  If you have a riva128 with
4MB of Ram like I do, you have to run X at a resolution of 800x600 or
640x480 in 15bpp or 16bpp to get Hardware acceleration.  And this is the
total desktop resolution (no virtual desktop) However a pager is ok.

Hope this helps,
