If you use Xpmac, nothing should have changed. This Tom: I installed XFree86-FBDev-3.3.5-1.6.0b only as directed, ran Xconfigurator, and configured 8 bit, 16 bit, and 24 bit. I checked XF86Config and it was configured for 8 bit, 15 bit, and 24 bit depths. Testing worked fine in 8 bit, starting X with startx -- -bpp 16 worked ( wasn't sure if I should use 15 or 16), and startx -- -bpp 24 also worked, but was quite distorted. Sort of like looking through a kaliedoscope with 4 quadrants - kind of reminded me of the 70s ;-). Running Xconfigurator & stting up only a 16 bit mode, or only a 24 bit mode would cause X to fail with a default 8 bit mode not configured (more or less) message. I've gone back to the first rpm now, but Ill try anything else you can suggest. -- Neil Jolly (with Yoda-like voice) "Confrontation leads to anger... Anger leads to fear...
