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.

Daniel, Thanks for the config file. All I needed to do was add a section in my Screens definition to say DefaultDepth 16/24. I assumed if I only had a 16bpp screen defined it would use it rather then looking for an 8bpp. Thanks again for the help. Lyall.

This sort of thing is supported by linux, I haven't done it myself but there is info in the Sound-HOWTO about it, start there. Lyall.
