   hi,   
      
   Is there any  alert while booting, saying that you're in safe mode 'cause   
   graphic card is ont supported ?   
   actually, MGA millenium should work fine with BeOS r>=5...   
   if no alert appears, it could be a setting in a config file like the one   
   with i815/810 chipsets, telling the kernel which size of memory to be   
   allocated   
   ...
