[SLE] KDE change color depth?
I've looked and looked. How does one change color depth in KDE? I can change resolutions via the keyboard, but number of colors???

Hmm that's an X server thing, ain't it? (just a guess; I don't use KDE) You can either have your default color depth set in /etc/XF86Config or pass the option -bpp 16 (or -bpp 32) to the X server when you start it up. (The option in /etc/XF86Config is DefaultColorDepth; check the man on XF86Config) ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Denning" <jdenning@pobox.com> To: <suse-linux-e@suse.com> Sent: 03 February 2000, Thursday 00:03 Subject: [SLE] KDE change color depth? | I've looked and looked.

That is an X server setting not a KDE thing. I believe I saw another resonse to your question and they had it right. If you call X on the command line add the color depth to the end of the call: startx --bpp 16 or 32 or whatever. If you want it to be permanent set the DefaultColorDepth 16, or whatever in your XF86Config file at the end of the screen section. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Darren R.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I was expecting a utility to change the color depth from within the GUI after I set up choices from XF86Config. At 03:23 PM 2/3/2000 , you wrote:
