Black screen when setting lower color depth

[Acoc]

Hello,

I've been having some trouble setting a lower defaultdepth in the xorg.conf. Currently the only setting that works is 24-bit, but I need either 16 or 32 to run a particular game. Every time I change the setting to 16 or 32, the resulting restart gives me a black screen. I am using the fglrx display drivers on an amd64.

Here is my xorg.conf:

Acoc,

32 bit and 24 bit colour depths are actually identical. The reason for that is rooted in the IA32 architecture. There are no 24 bit instructions.

Not all drivers support all colour depths. Read your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to see what Xorg did when it gave you a blank screen.
Its written every startup, so you either need to read it without Xorg or preserve it to read it later.

Post it here (the broken preserved on) if you need more help

NeddySeagoon,

You were right, fglrx must not support 16-bit color.
