Xserver configuration
|
|
|
| My Solaris workstation has a default Xserver configuration, in which
the color depth is set at 8 bit.
$ xdpyinfo | grep root
depth of root window: 8 planes
Anyone knows how to change the depth to 24 bit?
Thanks,
JC

Iw ould depend on your hardware. Ask at comp.unix.solaris for a better
answer. Mine has an 8 bit framebuffer, so mine won't do that.

Sure. Find your Xserver config file and add defdepth 24 to it.
This is listed in the man page for X if you need more info.

Depends - On an Ultra[12] up to Ultra Enterprise, I think it's in OBP.
On my SunBlade 100, it's m64config, etc.

We run Solaris 7 and that is how we set it. Check the man page. Amoung
other things it gives you the options that you can list on the command
line when the Xserver is started and one of them is defdepth. How you
actually put it into use will vary because it depends on how you start
the server.
Your display adapter also has to be able to handle 24 bit but that is a
different problem.
