*sigh*

       Option "LinearAlloc" "integer"
              Allows  more  memory  for  the offscreen allocator. This usually
              helps in situations where HDTV movies are required to  play  but
              not  enough  offscreen  memory is usually available. Set this to
              6144 for upto 1920x1080 HDTV support.  Default 0KB (off).

There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times and
oppression to develop psychic muscles.
