hello, i'm an italian boy with a little problem with debian gnu linux distribution. i've installed this distro for the first time on my old pc desktop and all ok. but at the end, when i had to set up x server i've made a mistake: i set up to 24 the depth of my generic monitor, but i think this value is to hight. so every time i turn on my pc, it cannot start gnome display manager and x server because it's not set up correctly. i tried to correct this problem using x configuration program, but i've not found in this program the solution of my problem. how can i set to 16 the depth of the screen, using simply the console? i report on end error message and technical feature of my pc. thank you ....se potete rispondetemi in italiano.... -----------------------------------------------technical feature------------------------------------------------- pc vectra vl - 5 series video card matrox cpu 200 Mhz ram 192 Mb hd 4 Gb monitor generic colours - 15" 800x600 resolution -----------------------------------------------error message------------------------------------------------- warning: process set to nice value 0 instead of - 10 as requested. this is a pre-release version of xfree86, and is no supported in any way. bugs may be reported to xfree86@xxxxxxxxxxx and patches submitted to fixes@xxxxxxxxxxxx before reporting bugs in pre-release versions, please check the latest version in the xfree86 cvs repository (http://www.xfree86.org/cvs) xfree86 version 4.1.0.1 /x window system (protocol version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510) release date: 21 december 2001 if the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is never than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.
