Hello, I do quite a lot of photo editing on my box and with both my monitors and my graphics card (amdgpu) supporting 10-bit colour channels, I tend to run X at colour depth 30. Unfortunately some software, most notably programs using OpenGL it seems, refuse to run in this mode - presumably (I have seen this mentioned as the reason of problems with 30-bit mode under Windows when the first cards supporting it came out) because the software assumes 8-bit alpha channel but with the frame buffer still being only 32-bit it is only 2-bit. Seeing as there seem to be no way of switching colour depth on the fly, the best I have been able to come up with is two separate X sessions - one at depth 30 and one at 24.
Is there, or perhaps will there be some way in the near future, to work around this problem - either by increasing framebuffer BPP (tried it a while ago but it didn't seem to accept anything more than 32), using a virtual X server (tried using Xephyr but it complained about there being no matching screen), or some other way I haven't thought of? Thank you in advance for your comments. -- MS _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
