Re: [newbie] running video in 16 mil colors ? and modem question

[Paul A. Bernicchi]

I believe the commandline is "startx --start -bpp 32" experiment and put what works into your /etc/profile as an alias ("alias startx=")  OR you can append the --start option to your /etc/X11/Xclients file.

 

I would confirm this, but I'm on my way to work, and I don't have time to boot into Linux  ;) 

 

 

Also, try putting the following in your XF86Config file:

 

DefaultDepth 32

 

This is assuming you want 16.8 million colors - you might want '16' for 65,536 instead.

 

All off the top of my head,  ;)

Subject: [newbie] running video in 16 mil colors ? and modem question

using mandrake 5.2 with susconfig and renditon rpm from xservers from mandrake cd

 

I have a diamond stealth s220 and it says its capable of running in 16 and 24 bpp

but it always shows in 8 bpp

i tried running startx --bpp 16 but that didnt work either

 

also when i try to dial it always says my modem is busy it set on the correct com (cua2)

I am pretty sure that its not a winmodem

 

If you can help please respond thanks
