...say *what* ?!? XFree86 2.0 has not been released upon the unwashed
masses yet. If you managed to get your hands on a beta copy, then
don't look for any help unless you *are* one of the XFree86 sanctioned
testers. Dwex is already not too happy with some Linux users for
ignoring the XFree teams request to *not* use any leaked servers.

RTF FAQ! (Enclosed clipping for your benefit.)
===================
Question 4.3. How can I have more than 16Mb of swap ?
You have to set up more than one swap partition or swapfile. Linux only
supports swap area sizes up to 16Mb, but you can set up and configure
several swap areas and Linux will use them all.
