Hello, I am having a problem setting my default colormap be 24bit DirectColor . In my XF86Config-4 I set DefaultColorDepth 24 under the Screen Section. The xdpyinfo output all the visuals where 24 planes but the default was TrueColor so I set the "Visual "DirectColor" under the Display subsection when I did startx the screens just flashed ( I have to change the XF86config and reboot to recover). Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultColorDepth 24 Subsection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" Visual "DirectColor" EndSubSection EndSubSection As a test I tried DefaultColorDepth 8 with Visual "PsuedoColor" after startx the xdpyinfo default visual was 8bit psuedo. So I tried DefaultColorDepth 8 with Visual"TrueColor" and after startx the xdpinfo default visual was 8bit Truecolor. No flash of the screen occurred. My setup is : Red Hat 7.3 with vmlinuz-2.4.18-3smp, XFree86 4.2.0-8, and Graphics board :NVidia Quadr4 750 dual head Driver: NVidia Glx-1.02960.i386.rpm kernel: nvidia-kernel-1.0-2960rh73 smp. i686.rpm _______________________________________________ Newbie@XFree86.Org *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
