Re: Changing bit depth on X

1997-04-04 Thread Bernt T. Hansen 
You could also add

   DefaultColorDepth 16

to your Screen section of the XF86Config file.

Here's the relevant parts of my XF86Config:

. . .
Section "Screen"
   Driver  "Accel"
   Device  "Primary Card"
   Monitor "Primary Monitor"
   DefaultColorDepth 16
   SubSection "Display"
. . .

Hope this helps,

Bernt.

   Try using the command line option: "startx -bpp 16". That should work
   with any color depth like 24 or 32.


It should be "startx -- -bpp 16"

Try using the command line option: "startx -bpp 16". That should work
with any color depth like 24 or 32.

startx -- -bpp 16
(if you have it configured in XF86Config)

I put the appropriate section below.  Another way is startx -- -bpp 16.

Have a good one.

How does one change the default color depth on X from 8 bit color to 16
bit color.

Thanks.
