First you need to stop the currently running X server. Do you have xdm installed? By default it starts on boot up in Debian. To stop xdm you can run '/etc/init.d/xdm stop'. If you have xdm installed you can edit /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers and add the -bpp 32 to the line at the end of the file. There should be examples in the file. Something like: :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt7 -bpp 32 -- Brian Servis -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mechanical Engineering | Never criticize anybody until you Purdue University | have walked a mile in their shoes, [EMAIL PROTECTED] | because by that time you will be a http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis | mile away and have their shoes.
