you may not want to -- practically everything (opengl, for instance, and certainly direct rendering of 3-d objects) is optimized for 16bpp. i have a fast radeon card here with 128 megs, and i run it on a 19-inch sony monitor at 1280x960 and 16bpp. what is especially nice about it is that it allows memory interleaving, which meand that the effective speed is much greater. | XFree86 Version 4.0.1 / X Window System | (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6400) | Release Date: 1 July 2000 | Operating System: Linux 2.2.14 i686 [ELF] | | That last line is somewhat puzzling because uname -a reports: | 2.4.5-win4lin #3 Wed Jul 4 16:01:48 EDT 2001 i686 unknown not especially. it's reporting what the xfree was built on, not what it's running on. which in turn suggests that you might want to do some upgrading -- a lot has happened in re. kernel-xfree interaction since linux 2.2. expecially if you're running or hope to run an agp card. -- dep http://www.linuxandmain.com -- outside the box, barely within the envelope, and no animated paperclip anywhere. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
