Hi there,
No matter what I do with my XF86Config file, I can't get my display to show more than 8-bit colour. 800x600 resolution is working fine, but the image itself is dithered down to 8-bit. here's my config file; i'd appreciate any help you can offer!
P.S. I'm running Gentoo on an Armada M300 laptop (11.3" TFT), and I know it's capable of at least 16-bit colour.
| Code: |
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "ATI 3D Turbo Pro"
Monitor "My Monitor"
DefaultDepth 16
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "800x600"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection

Forget it...I found the answer myself...
turns out that I had created an XF86Config file in the /root directory, and startx was reading that one instead of the one I was changing in /etc/X11/XF86Config! Something to watch out for...
Cheers,
Aaron. |

I've done that. I had set my config file just right to use my wacom mouse and stylus, and 24 bit, 1024x768, all the goodness that X can be.W orked great under my everyday user acct.
then i ran x as root...oh boy, it was ugly. 8 bit, 640x480, no mouse...i was freaked..then i looked in the root dir and there was the original config file...
