Never could get anything in the config file to work correctly, but adding a switch on the command line works just peachy. Try this: startx -- -depth 24 There's a space after startx, then two dashes, a space, then -depth 24 (and a space between depth and 24) Depth of course can equal whatever your video card is capable of. 8, 16, 24 and 32? gf =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Gerry Freymann - Senior Systems Manager eagle.ca Internet Services www.eagle.ca Voice: 905-373-9313 Fax: 905-373-1801 http://www.eagle.ca/support =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
