Anybody know how to make Doom (XDOOM) work if we use 16bpp or higher color ..?
Reprogram it :) X Applications have to have the proper code to handle other color depths than 8bpp. It seems like the developers have not implemented such support.
If not, How to change X from 16 bpp to 8bpp without restart it.
You cannot change the color depth of a running X server. But you can try to use "Xnest", a nested X server: [SNIP] XNEST(1) XNEST(1) NAME Xnest - a nested X server SYNOPSIS Xnest [-options] DESCRIPTION Xnest is a client and a server. Xnest is a client of the real server which manages windows and graphics requests on its behalf. Xnest is a server to its own clients. Xnest manages windows and graphics requests on their behalf. To these clients Xnest appears to be a conventional server. [SNIP]
If I play doom (SDOOM, SVGA Lib) I must be a root !! Why ? and how to solve it.
You need to be able to access the video card directly, when using the SVGA library. If you have a safe environment, you can alternatively set the SUID bit for "root" for the doom binary instead.
In SuSE there is a Library error ..in /usr/lib/vga.so.1 when I use to play doom, So I changed to Doom's vga.so.1. Why the symbolic back again from Doom' has to SuSE has..
