When I start xpm it displays at the default 8bpp. I've scoured through
almost all documentations (html references, man pages and README's) in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ to no avail. Is there some simple prefix in one of the
xpm files or does /etc/XF86Config have to be changed as such?
This is how it currently looks: (note the Depth variable) ----------------
# The Colour SVGA server
Section "Screen"
Driver "svga"
# Use Device "Generic VGA" for Standard VGA 320x200x256
#Device "Generic VGA"
Device "Matrox Mystique G200 4MB"
Monitor "SVGA Color Monitor"
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
# Omit the Modes line for the "Generic VGA" device
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
# Use Virtual 320 200 for Generic VGA
EndSubsection
