Re: video modes for X11
Paul,
Your display may be running at a lower pixel depth than you're used to
seeing. Check the Screen section of your XF86Config that applies to
your x server. If your server recognizes the DefaultColorDepth parameter
you can set your default depth that way, otherwise you can use
startx -- -bpp <depth> with whatever depth you want to start with.
