Hi, I have a new computer, but recycled my monitor. The monitor (a Sampo AlphaScan 711) could do 1024x768 in 24-bit color on the old computer. On the new system, using the same monitor settings but a newer (and better supported) video card, it suddenly can do only 8-bit color, even with the same monitor settings. I'm running: XFree86 Version 4.3.0 Release Date: 27 February 2003 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6 Build Operating System: FreeBSD 5.1 i386 [ELF] Build Date: 27 August 2003 The new card is a Rage Mobility P/M AGP 2x, the old one is a Riva TNT2. Rather than flood the list with huge attachments of log files and configuration files, I've posted both the old and new ones on the Web.
