[Klug-general] low RAM

[Thomas Edward Groves]

This may be of minimal value but:
whenever I get trouble with graphics I try using VESA mode rather than
any specific driver.
In my experience absolutely  *everything* will run VESA.
It isn't the best but it may work.
Otherwise I apologise for wasting your time.
