Dear Sir,

I have sent u a email regarding driver development, please ensure you have read it.

Regards Dibya.

Hi there,
I've got a Guru Meditation after trying the drivers on the new Virtualbox 7.0.97 r157070 on Fedora 38 x64 using VBoxVGA.

Reducing the VRAM from 256MB to 64MB makes the driver work, though:

Any chance of getting support for 256MB of VRAM?

First, again great work, @JHRobotics! SoftGPU ticks so many boxes on my wishlist!

Does the current driver support multiple monitors? VirtualBox allows up to 8.
256MB VRAM will come in handy when multiple 4K monitors are used (or for single 8K TV, of course), so I would like that to be a user option, not requiring manual building.

There is a potentially related patch from http://lonecrusader.x10host.com/rloew/rloew.html

• NVSIZE: Allows 512MB+ nVidia graphics cards to be used in Windows 9x.
  "The nVidia Graphics Card Size Patch Package provides two solutions to the
  problem of NVidia Graphics Cards that use memory banking to access Video RAM.
  This causes a problem in most Windows 95, 98, 98SE or ME Systems when a 512MB
  Graphics Card reports only 256MB of Memory Mapped I/O Space when configured.
  A fix is also provided for Interrupt issues that can occur in some Systems.
  This problem can cause Mouse freezes and/or Disk Write Errors."
