My Section "Screen" looks like this (note the DefaultDepth and you also probably want to explicitly list modes you want to use): Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 8 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 15 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" EndSubSection EndSection -- Eric Anholt eta@lclark.edu http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ anholt@FreeBSD.org
