Based on the command output Shirish sent along he (I assume this is a
man's name, sorry in case I'm wrong) has 256MB shared RAM in use by his
integrated Intel G33 GPU, which is mounted to a P5KPL-VM mainboard.
Based on other command output he provided, he has 966 MB RAM available
(for MegaGlest only) on top of what Linux and the other applications
consume, and has a Pentium E5400 (dual-core) CPU.

I had pointed him to the Glest forum thread which discusses how to
configure MegaGlest to consume as little resources as possible, and
based on his latest feedback my understanding is that the game works
well for him after applying these modifications.

It seems to me that 256 MB of video memory can be too little with the
default configuration, and that 128 MB MB of video memory is almost
always insufficient. We may need a test for this?

Tor what it's worth, it would seem that Shirish reports "works for me"
and ask for this bug to be closed.
