In  /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 I found:

Section "Screen"
        Identifier   "Screen0"
        Device       "Matrox Millennium G400"
        Monitor      "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth    24

        Subsection "Display"
                Depth       24
                Modes       "1024x768"
        EndSubsection

and in /etc/X11/XF86Config:

# The svga server
Section "Screen"
    Driver      "svga"
    Device      "Matrox Millennium G400"
    Monitor     "Sampo AlphaScan 711"
    DefaultColorDepth 32

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       32
        Modes       "1024x768"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection
EndSection

# The accel server
Section "Screen"
    Driver      "accel"
    Device      "Matrox Millennium G400"
    Monitor     "Sampo AlphaScan 711"
    DefaultColorDepth 32
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       32
        Modes       "1024x768"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection



Why Depths are different? (24<->32)
Shall I change them?


Thanks
