It's also possible that you have to increase the amount of ram alloted
to your video card in the BIOS settings.  I've had that issue with Intel
onboard video before.  
Parenthetically, I'm not sure how Windows 'gets around' this - their
driver must adjust that setting on the fly from Windows? (anybody that
really knows please let me know ;-)
