ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 4X AGP / XFree86 4.3.0 / ATI Linux Driver: Colour Depth Problems
Hello,
I'm running on my HP nc6000 (with an external hp L1925 TFT-Monitor) Debian GNU/Linux 3.0r3, XFree86 4.3.0, the prorpietary ATI Radeon Linux driver, and as display manager GDM; XFree is configured to use 1280x1024 24bpp externally, and 1024x768 24bpp internally.
After booting the system GDM appears just as intended (and configured) to, but after approximately two seconds the systems reduces the color depth from 24bpp to 8bpp, which admittedly looks very crude (or artish, at least from a certain point of view ;-). When I login an run fgl_glgears, the color depth is restored to 24bpp.
Any ideas how to prevent the depth reduction and keep the original, configured depth?
Merry Xmas, ;-)
Martin
