Re: [colorforth] Low res or low color ColorForth

[Oninoshiko <oninoshiko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

you know in my experence the problem that seems to happen alot, is that 
people try to use an intigradted video chipset. i have never had this 
work. i think it i is because most intigrated video chipsets try and 
"borrow" system memory to construct a framebuffer in. i am not shure, this 
is a gut instict.
