I am using kdm for logins on this 6.4 machine and it always defaults to 8 bpp. I would like it to be started at 16 bpp ( 24 slows down
bit ) and have the users sessions started at 16 bpp also. Is there a file I can set this in? I have to set up X using xf86config and edit XF86Config afterwards because I have an old monitor and a crappy vid card. I have
commenting out the 8 bpp section for my video card of XF86Config and also
Edit /etc/XF86Config and insert "DefaultColorDepth 16" for 16-bit (substitute24 or 32 if you want that) in the section for your X server - example below (from a SaX-generated file) Section "Screen" Driver "SVGA" Device "Primary card" Device "Primary-monitor" DefaultColorDepth 16 Subsection "Display" ........

setting the resolution higher than the vid card supports for 8 bpp color depth. Both result in X not starting at all when I boot to run level three. I have tried and X works if I start it from the command line using "startx -- -bpp 16". It looks sweet BTW, I didn't know linux could look this good. I have tried searches on man pages for this to no avail.
I would like to thank everyone for the info on switching to OSS for my CMI8330. That was easier than setting up any sound card I have done in windows.
