Two 8-bit PseudoColor visuals
By default, X Windows comes up in 8-bit mode.
There are two ways to set bit-depth:
• By editing the config file
/var/X11/TSIScreenConfig
• By setting the environment variable
STARSMODE
The default visual in 8+24-bit mode is PseudoColor. In order to set
the default visual in the 8+24-bit mode to TrueColor, the
/etc/X11/X0screens
file needs to be modified. The example
below shows how to set the default visual to TrueColor for the card
rapdlt0
.
