Correct, it looks like the output of "X -configure" or xf86cfg perhaps. >>Section "Screen" >> Identifier "Screen0" >> Device "Card0" >> Monitor "Monitor0" >> SubSection "Display" >> Depth 1 >> EndSubSection >> SubSection "Display" >> Depth 4 >> EndSubSection >> SubSection "Display" >> Depth 8 >> EndSubSection >> SubSection "Display" >> Depth 15 >> EndSubSection >> SubSection "Display" >> Depth 16 >> EndSubSection >> SubSection "Display" >> Depth 24 >> EndSubSection >>EndSection >> >Red Hat's tool don't configure multiple depth like that.

Our tool should configure 8/16/24 bit depths all at once. If it doesn't still (I'd have to check the latest version), count me in on getting it to do so. All other depths are irrelevant as far as I'm concerned though. Anyone using or requiring 1bpp/4bpp/15bpp depths is using a very peculiar and ancient setup, and I don't consider it to be worthy of supporting. Users needing those oddball legacy depths can edit the config file by hand if need be. I only see 8/16/24 bit depths as something sanely supported, and even then 8 bit depth is also considered legacy. >Youre Conifg file is bad. Run redhat-config-xfree86 to get a same config >file. Typo there.. you mean "sane". ;o) I agree with you though. -- Mike A.
