This is related to the display comment I made in my prior mail- on
astrophel, our Linux-Athena 9.2 test machine, the display seems to be
locked into a high resolution 8 bit mode I can't seem to get out of.
xdpyinfo shows, in part:
screen #0:
dimensions: 2048x1536 pixels (361x271 millimeters)
resolution: 144x144 dots per inch
depths (7): 8, 1, 4, 15, 16, 24, 32
root window id: 0x4f
depth of root window: 8 planes
but the strange thing is that in both /etc/X11/XF86Config and
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4, there is no 2048x1536 mode anywhere. What gives?
Alex
PS- it looks like most X settings are back in XF86Config; in prior RedHat
releases, most were in XF86Config-4. Did they change this in RedHat 9?
Thanks,
Alex
