Thanks Rick, I did find and run the Xconfigurator, but as you said might happen, it had other undesirable effects.
I will try XF86Config-4.

Keep in mind that I am new to Linux. :-) If you're not afraid of a text editor, try (as root) editing /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 using gedit, vi, pico, or whatever. Find the line which has either Depth or DefaultDepth. It may be 24 or 32. Change the number to 8 and you're set. Alternatively, rerun xconfigurator - however this may change other settings which may be undesirable in the end. It is, however, "easier". -Rick -- Rick Johnson, RHCE - [EMAIL PROTECTED] (from home) Linux/WAN Administrator - Medata, Inc.
