Hi I'm running FreeBSD 4.4 (i386), with XF86 version 4.1.0. The i810 driver seems to work, but the best colors I can get are 8-bit (at 1024x768). Nothing in the documentation suggests that the driver is only 8-bit, and when I had Red Hat on here I had 24-bit color. The 8-bit color is really annoying as all the color maps get easily screwed up. In my XF86Config file, in the driver section I have Driver "i810" VendorName "Intel" BoardName "i810e" BusID "PCI:0:1:0" VideoRam 16384 Option "NoDCC" "True" Option "NoInt10" and in my screen section, I list the displays with depth 24, 15, then 8 (in that order), and 8 always gets selected. Any ideas? Thanks, Mike PS: My cheap motherboard won't accept video cards, or at least I can't find the jumper for it and I can't get to the bios with a card in there.
