[frgeek-michiana] Re: Announce NetVista howto

The video subsystem has 4 MB of RAM. We've only tested at 800x600. At 800 x 600 the color is very good so I assume the video is running 16-bit color depth or better. A reasonable max might be 1024 x 768 at 24-bit color depth.

I believe the formula for calculating required video memory is this: (horiz. resolution in pixels * vert. resolution in pixels * color depth in bits) / 8-bits = bytes of video RAM

65K colors at 800x600 res:
(800 * 600 * 16) / 8 = 7,680,000 / 8 = 960,000 bytes video RAM

65K colors at 1024x768 res:
(1024 * 768 * 16) / 8 = 12,582,912 / 8 = 1,572,864 bytes video RAM

16M colors at 1024x768 res:
(1024 * 768 * 24) / 8 =18,874,368 / 8 = 2,359,296 bytes video RAM

Theoretically the video subsystem should do better than 1024x768 at 24-bit color depth.
