Yes. Include a "VideoRam XXXX" in the Device section of your XF86Config,
specifying the exact amount of VideoRam your card has. For example,
"VideoRam 8192" for a Millennium II with 8MB. The reason is that,
sometimes, the SVGA Xserver fails when trying to detect the
amount of VRAM installed, crashing the entire system.
