Try to select 24 and then check /var/log/XFree86.0.log to see what bpp X is using. In my case I see the following: (**) R128(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32 (II) R128(0): Pixel depth = 24 bits stored in 4 bytes (32 bpp pixmaps) (==) R128(0): Default visual is TrueColor ... (--) Depth 24 pixmap format is 32 bpp In other words, the driver uses 32bpp but uses a depth of 24. Avi --On Sunday, December 30, 2001 01:44:51 PM +1100 marcus <marhol@netspace.net.au> wrote:
How do I get 32bit color in 7.3? Yast2 will let me have 16bit only and Sax2 gives me a choice of 8,16 or 24bit.
