% bc -l 896000 >= 800*600*16 0 You can't, 896k is not enough to hold 800x600x16bpp. > "Backing store" sounds kind of promising for cheating on how much > video memory you have.

It doesn't have anything to do with it, as far as I know. > Should I just give up and enjoy my 8-bit depth? Any suggestions? Yes, that's what you have to do. Or get a better laptop. (I'm satisfied with 8bpp since I only run xterms, but well. I'd be happy in 2bpp if the LCD could handle 1024x768...) _______________________________________________ Neomagic mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/neomagic
