thats kind of the wierd thinggdm is happy with less colors more pixels. then gnome fires up and ruins everything
kill gdm and use startx get nice little X cursor, gnome starts and the res goes all stupid im willing to admit metacity could be at fault here. Dean vinai wrote:
does anyone know why gnome would be demanding 24 bit color. i would rather 16bt 800x600 over 24bit 640x480!! i cant find anytihng in ~/.gnome* /usr/share/gnome/* etc DeanThis shouldn't have anything to do with GNOME, but with your xfree settings. Take a look at the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. Once your video card and monitor can handle it, there should be no issue with switching down in colour and up in resolution. vinai
