Starting Graphical System

[Dark Ninja]

I was just wondering if there was anything wrong with starting KDE, Gnome, etc. by using this command:

startx -- -bpp 32

From what I've read, I figured that was right, but, I just wanted to make sure.

You might be able to find the correct syntax in 'man startx' or in one of the other XFree documentation files installed with the product.

What you have posted doesn't look correct to me. startx -bpp32 ???

Actually that's right, assuming it's version 3.x of X -
The 4.x versions got rid of -bpp and are using -display now, if I remember right.
