I have changed down to depth 16 and the framebuffer depth > is now also 16. 24 bpp is not a standard depth for X, and quite a number of programs display their icons and pictures wrong if you use it. To address this problem, X 4.1 now splits the depth into the visual bpp (24), and the framebuffer bpp (which must be >= visual bpp). If you have a visual bpp of 24, you can choose a fbbpp of 24 or 32. By default, 32 is chosen. Change it by adding DefaultFbbpp = 24 to the Screen section of XF86Config-4. -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen <guus@sliepen.warande.net>
