Re: configuring XFree86 4.1.0

[Daniel Kleine-Albers <dka@dka-edv.de>]

Hello Michel,

I shortly solved the problem. The problem was that i didn't ran the 
right framebuffer (video=ofonly instead of video=aty128fb)

Now i can set also 24bpp. Before this change the xserver didn't start up 
for other depths than 8bpp.


Thanx ofr your help,

Daniel
