Hi
I'm running FreeBSD 4.4 (i386), with XF86 version 4.1.0. The i810 driver
seems to work, but the best colors I can get are 8-bit (at 1024x768).
Nothing in the documentation suggests that the driver is only 8-bit, and
when I had Red Hat on here I had 24-bit color. The 8-bit color is
really annoying as all the color maps get easily screwed up.
In my XF86Config file, in the driver section I have
Driver "i810"
VendorName "Intel"
BoardName "i810e"
BusID "PCI:0:1:0"
VideoRam 16384
Option "NoDCC" "True"
Option "NoInt10"
and in my screen section, I list the displays with depth 24, 15, then 8
(in that order), and 8 always gets selected.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike
PS: My cheap motherboard won't accept video cards, or at least I can't
find the jumper for it and I can't get to the bios with a card in there.
