Howdy a week or so ago I asked about problems with the resolution and color depth of Netscape and the answer came back that these areas were controlled by X. So I attempted to control X with startx and(all suggested): -bpp16 -bpp 16 16 --bpp16 -bpp32 --bpp32 32 -bpp 32 (yes XF86Config shows all three as possible depths with there respective window sizes) When I run 'xwininfo' the color depth is always 8 (no matter what window I click on), the images are just as grainy and the colors start going crazy very quickly (which would seem to me -a total X newbie - to indicate low color depth ie. 8 ). Can anyone give me a clear idea of what I need to do to increase the color depth. I'm using a Cirrus 5434 video chip with 1 meg of ram. Please no ' flib the dwerble with a pinny and then drib the wilden' answers - I really don't have a clue on X.
