Hi,
I have dell inspiron 3700 with an ATI Rage Mobility AGP 2x vid
card(detects as being a Mach 64 LM). Running debian 2.2(potato) and XF86
4.0.2.
I have successfully installed and configured X to run at 1024x768 8bit
color using the ati driver. I have, however had this system running in
24bit color using XF86 3.3.6 and Mandrake 7.0-2 under the mach64 dirver.
Currently if I try to run in 16 or 24 bit color. I get an error message
that no Screen for 8bit has been defined and the x server crashes.
I have included copies of my XF86Config and the output from the server
when it starts successfully.
Could you plese at least point me to what the limiting factor is for the
color depth? I have noted the framebuffer is also set to 8bpp. Is this the
prblem? How do I change it?
TIA
Lyall.
