Re: [PLUG] X server bpp 8
|
How do I start the local server at a higher depth? I read something
about color maps and colors being used up.
output:
xdpyinfo | grep depth
depth 1, bits_per_pixel 1, scanline_pad 32
depth 4, bits_per_pixel 8, scanline_pad 32
depth 8, bits_per_pixel 8, scanline_pad 32
depth 15, bits_per_pixel 16, scanline_pad 32
depth 16, bits_per_pixel 16, scanline_pad 32
depth 24, bits_per_pixel 32, scanline_pad 32
depth 32, bits_per_pixel 32, scanline_pad 32
depths (7): 16, 1, 4, 8, 15, 24, 32
depth of root window: 16 planes
depth: 16 planes
depth: 16 planes
depth: 16 planes
depth: 16 planes
depth: 16 planes
depth: 16 planes
depth: 16 planes
depth: 16 planes
