Re: [newbie] sorry, a followup to my question!
So I type it in right after I log on right? Cause that doesn't work. Nothing happens. Is there any directory I have to go in and then type XF86Setup? h Thanks, James On Thu, 15 Mar 2001 04:46:12 -0500, Michael Scottaline wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ok, it says "Driver can't support depth 24" what does this mean!? === Try this: type "XF86Setup" (w/o " - case senstive) once that launches go to "mode" and change depth to 16bpp See if that works HTH, Mike -- "Many loads of beer were brought.

Color depth, ie, 8 is 256 colors, 16 is 65,000 colors, 24 and 32 are 16 million. Set color depth to 16 and it should fix it, specially if you've got a 3DFX video card, or most any card using 3d acceleration. -- Dale Earnhardt, the greatest stock car driver ever, he's won his 8th and His Greatest Championship Tom Brinkman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Galveston Bay

It means you have your settings set to use 24 bit color (In different terms 24 bit color depth) The driver you are using is most likely one that has 3d acceleration buillt in and I think most of them stick to 16 bit. --Matt - Original Message - From: "James carlson" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2001 1:14 AM Subject: [newbie] sorry, a followup to my question!
