Posted: Fri Nov 28, 2003 5:16 pm Post subject: XF86Config Screen/Display Question |
|
|
I used XF86Config -configure to get my current running XF86Config, which works. However, it looks like it's only using a shallow depth, like Depth 8. I see in my XF86Config the settings below. I tried to delete all but the "Depth 24" SubSection, but that didn't work, giving me an error about unusable screens related to a missing Depth SubSection. I want to run 1152 resolution at the lowest depth possible, preferably 24. Any ideas how I can do this?
P.S. When the resolution is set to 1200x, it looks a lot better ...in fact the depth doesn't bother me at all, but 1200 res. on this 17" monitor is too fine for my eyes.
Thanks for any help.
Dave

Thanks Random Task, that's exactly what I needed!
