If this is an "on-board" controller, then you may need to turn up the
amout of system memory allocated as video RAM in BIOS. You'll need to
reboot and press the 'delete' key or 'F1' or whatever your BIOS
specifies.
If you are using an actual video card plugged into a PCI or AGP slot,
then please disregard my suggestion.
