Changing bit depth in Linux?
February 07, 2004 01:15 PM
Hi!
I''m already quite familiar with the XF86VidMode extension, but I noticed that it isn''t possible to change the bit depth through this extension. How do you do it then?
Not that it is really important, but I''m just curious!

in your XFree86 config file ( normaly /etc/X11/XF86Config ), in the "Screen" Module, you have to write something like this:
Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 1 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 4 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 15 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 EndSubSectionEndSection
our new version has many new and good features. sadly, the good ones are not new and the new ones are not good

Yeah, I already have the 16bit and 24bit modes, but I want to use Xlib for changing the bit depth!

I remember there being something along those lines out there.

The RANDR extension changes resolution on the fly. I''m not sure if it can do bit-depths aswell, but it would be the first place to look.
