Use purge instead of remove for anything that would

I should repeat the commands and clean my glasses, or the docs must be updated? A purge option for apt was something I missed from it, so I've been interested in the theme. Ignasi __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Q: Why 24 depth/not 32?
I think there is separate display depth and framebuffer depth (maybe there are other terms used instead of these, I don't remember exactly), one is what you see (24 in my case, voodoo) and the other one is internal representation on the card (32 on my system). erik Jonathan Gift wrote: > > Hi, > > Thanks for getting back to me. > > I don't have that, but i do have an xdm.log, though I don't use xdm... > Couldn't see any reference to depth. > > So I'm at 24?

Re: Q: Why 24 depth/not 32?
i reccomend starting X using: startx >&X.log then look at X.log to see what it says ..maybe you set the wrong section of XF86Config to use 32bit (some XF86Config files have many different display sections to set color depth). since your using xdm i suggest stopping it first(close all your X apps then do /etc/init.d/xdm stop). i have the best luck in 16bit color..and stick to it even on my fastest machines. ..course i also cant tell the difference between a 96kbps mp3 and a 128kbps or 196kbps ... :) nate Jonathan Gift wrote: > > Hi, > > I've set up XF86Config to run at 32 bits, which my ATI Xpert&Play 98 > accepts in W98SE.

Re: Q: Why 24 depth/not 32?
Hi, Thanks for getting back to me. I don't have that, but i do have an xdm.log, though I don't use xdm... Couldn't see any reference to depth. So I'm at 24? Or had i better go back to my XF86Config and change it to 24? Jonathan > > This threw me too. This X 4, right? Well, there's more than one 24 > depth, including one at 32 bpp. Confused?

Well, there's more than one 24 depth, including one at 32 bpp. Confused? If you look at /var/log/XFree86.0.log (or some such), you can peruse what it thinks. There is no 32 depth anymore (though there are options for specifying 32bpp in a couple places). -- Eric G. Miller
