  <H2><A NAME="4"></A>4. Linear addressing</H2>

<p>Linear addressing is hardwired to 14 Mbytes for ISA boards 
and 78 Mbytes for VLB boards, thus if you have more
than that on your board you shouldn't enable it.
The aperture is selected from the VideoRam
parameter of the XF86Config or from the amount of memory that is
detected if VideoRam is not found.</p>
<p>I hope (because I have not tested it very thoroughly) that linear
addressing will work on all ISA boards, VLB ones work flawlessly.</p>
