Problem:
Pressing
CTRL-ALT-+/- (numeric) doesn't change my screen resolution setting. X
(with sawmill) always starts out in 1024 x 768 with 16 bpp (65,000 colors) and I
can't figure out how to change
it.
Background:
For practice, I just
installed X from scratch. I configured the XF86Config file with
xf86config. I've got 1 MB of video ram on an S3 chipset. I set three
resolution settings with the program:
1024 x 768 at 8
bpp,
1024 x 768 at 16
bpp,
and 800 x 600 at 24
bpp.
Question:
How do I change
monitor resolution/color depth in X? To put it another way, how do I get
CTRL-ALT-+/- to work?
Thanks. This
is a great list.
