Ah, I see. But pleaase try. :)

Well, trying to add some more nicer modeline can cause XFree to behave strangely
with some extension (at least for existing modes and Xinerama).

Cooker): why is it that 1280x960 never is made available as a resolution?

Both higher (1280x1024) and lower (1024x768) are there, but not 1280x960,
which is a very useful resolution, since the pixels are perfectly square
and not non-proportional as with 1280x1024.

If I edit my XF86Config myself (search and replace 1280x1024 with 1280x960)
it all works fine afterwards, but it sure would be nice if the option was
available in XFdrake. At least under all.

What's your view?

Mattias

Main problem is that it's not a standard resolution as the others are (I
agree that it should be regarding the non-respect of the 4/3 ratio). For
example VESA defines the following as standard modes: 640x400 640x480
800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024 1600x1200. Only 640x400 and 1280x1024
don't respect 4/3, which is rather strange, agreed.

That said, we could add the resolution, but we don't even have any
standard modeline in DrakX for it.

[Cooker] XFdrake and color depth

2001-11-27 Thread Mattias Dahlberg 

Hi,

I'm only allowed to choose '65 thousand colors'. It doesn't matter what
resolution I choose -- no 8bit, 24bit or 32bit in any of them.

Graphics card is Intel 815.

Oh, and my report.bug is still here: http://users.du.se/~mda/report.bug
if that's to any help. :)

Regards,
Mattias

Try --expert maybe ?

I think that DRI [3d accel] is only available in 16-bit depth.

Doesn't help. Still only 16bit. Very odd.

 I think that DRI [3d accel] is only available in 16-bit depth.

Which makes me wonder why there's no DRI checkbox, which would gray out
8bit and 24bit when checked and lighten them up when unchecked.

Btw, how nicely XFdrake ran when executed alone and not having to be
docked into DrakConf (suddenly the different dialogs made sense). Maybe
MandrakeSoft could think about a Control Panel where the different
programs are allowed to look like different programs (think Windows, but
much better of course :)).
