Can some please help me (or atleast direct me on who can)? I was to
change the settings on the integrated video on my Toshiba 1400. Right
now it only allows for 16 MB of RAM (taken from system RAM) for video.
I want to increase this as much as possible. Is there a way to do
this?

According to the Toshiba web (http://www.toshiba.com )site the 1400
only has 16Mb of video ram allowing up to 16M colours at 1024x768.

You are stuck with the limits imposed by the bios, and the video chip.

I've never seen a bios upgarde that allowed you to change this either.

That's a rather odd statement for them to make, 1024x768 @
32bpp should only need slightly under 4MB memory, not 16MB.

I have to wonder why OP wants to increase memory used
though, the integrated video likely isn't fast enough for
gaming and yet should be enough for the 2D use of the panel
at full native resolution.

At my shop, we get a lot of people who want to run Google Earth, and
they want to upgrade the video. Though 16 megs is technically enough
for it to operate.
 
Thanks for the answer. And thank you for not answering with a
question. Guess I'm stuck with what I got.
