I have a couple of questions about XFree86-4.01. These may be more
appropriate for another list, but I'll give it a try here first.
I thought that XF86 4.0 was supposed to allow you to automatically
swithc color depths (not sure of the correct terminology). I have an
application that uses 8bpp and it cannot be changed (at least not
without a rewrite, which I don't have time to do). In order to run
this app in the past, I had to exit out and restart X in 8bpp mode.
Having the capability to display 8bpp apps while running in 16 or 32 bpp
mode would be very useful to me. This capability was supposed to be
one of the big improvements in 4.0.
Does anyone know if XF86-4.0 has this capability and if so,
does anyone have an idea of how to use this.
Thanks,
Carey
