[vox-tech] XF86Config Question

This Debian Net Install is requiring a lot of work. I'm trying to set up X,
and I keep reading warnings that one can burn out a monitor or video card if
one screws up. That's why I'm asking this question.
I ran the xf86config program and was asked how much RAM my video card has.
I've got onboard video, and I didn't know the answer. I couldn't find it on
the web, or in my motherboard manual. So I picked 4096.
I notice the following in my XFConfig file:
"Section "Device"
Identifier "My Video Card"
Driver "vga"
#unsupported card
#VideoRAM 4096
# Insert Clocks line here if appropriate
So it looks to me like my 4096 selection is commented out, right? That's fine
with me because I don't know if it's right.
I've got correct settings for the horizontal and vertical sync/refresh rates.
And the "vga" driver looks like I don't have anything to worry about.
So it looks to me like I can run X (assuming I can get it up) without blowing
anything out. Do you all agree?
Thanks.
Bob
PS. In the meantime SuSE is working great. So if I don't get Debian up, I'm
cool.
