XF86Config

You can edit it with kedit....

run

man XF86Config
 in an xterm first.

There is a setting called DefaultColorDepth.

Can anyone tell me how to change the default startup color depth from 8bpp
to 16bpp?

I am running:
 - Mandrake-Linux 6.0
 - PCI Matrox Millennium II card with 4 megs of ram
 - PCI Voodoo2 card with 8 megs of ram

I got the Voodoo2 drivers installed last night but that was no help. I have
manually started the X server in 16bpp color mode but I can't cycle up to
16bpp colors from 8bpp with <ctrl><alt>+. I need 16bpp to run Quake3.

Is there an init file I can edit to add the '-- -bpp 16' settings to? I've
tried a lot and learned a lot but this has me stumped! ;.-(
