Back to experimenting with XF86 v4.01. The XF86Config file
generated by XFree86 -configure is spartan to say the
least. I added a screen section the upped the display
resolution to 1024 X 768 but cannot get the color depth
right. Using an ATI rage 128 Pro (r128) driver. Here are
the pertainent sections (Ithink):
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "r128"
VendorName "ATI"
BoardName "Rage 128 Pro PF"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "LCD Panel 1024x768"
VendorName "Unknown"
ModelName "Unknown"
HorizSync 31.5-48.5
# 1024x768 @ 60 Hz, 48.4 kHz hsync
Modeline "1024x768" 65 1024 1032 1176 1344 768 771
777 806 -hsync -vsync
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
#Driver "accel"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "LCD Panel 1024x768"
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
EndSection
I can go up to depth 24 (r128 chokes on 32) and XFree86
-depth 24 directly on the command line launches X with the
root window and no errors. all the way down to setting the
depth to 8 in the screen section and no options to XFree86.
start x chokes on all but a depth setting of 8 in the
screen section. What do I need to do to get the depth I
want?
Now for a generic X question. How can I tell at what
resolution and color depth a running server is operating
What about if HW accel . is being used?
I have never had to dink with XF86Config before but I can't
get Xconfigurator to compile and xf86cfg won't run either.
X starts, and then a window flashes right before the server
pukes. I forget the message let e know if it is pertainent
and I will get it.
ANy help appreciated.
