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
