Hi, X runs fine but I noticed it was running in the 8-bit modes I set. It wasn't running in the 16-bit modes. It has to be running in 8-bit color because the gradients in WindowMaker are horrible. I thought that by not specifying any 8-bit resolutions (I am using xf86config) the server would go straight to 16-bit modes since that is next down the line. But when I tried starting up X it said: Config Error: /etc/XF86Config:530 ViewPort 0 0 ^^^^^^^^^ Mode name expected X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). I think its safe to assume that I did this by removing the 8-bit modes. But how else am I to get X to run in the 3 resolutions I specified for 16-bit color mode. I'd rather run in 16-bit than have to deal with 256 colors and ugly gradients.
