32bpp colors ?

[anton]

Hello,

I wanted to use 32bpp colors ... but whenever I turn them on in XF86Config , and startx , it says that 32bpp mode is not supported ... though I did compile it in the kernel ...

what can be the problem ?

and how can I get them to work ? :)

thx

Compile it in the kernel? Huh? What video card is this? If it's an nvidia card, they run at a max of 24. It explains that in the driver documentation though.

You can only run in 24 bit colors. With an 8 bit 'buffer' you can have 32 bit of sorts.. this is what XFree86 does.

(short answer: 24 is as high as it goes)
