Re: [PLUG] X server bpp 8
|
Yes, I did all this. I changed the depth and changed run level so i
could test X. It actually didn't help rdesktop any - i increased the
color depth but rdesktop message still comes up as 8 bpp. i was just
hoping someone could tell me how i could edit however X autostarts. I
guess it's unnecessary if my default color depth is setin the config
file.
Maybe i should be going down with the color depth instead of up? But I'm
pretty sure I was 16 bpp originally.
