NOTE: This method of setting the default visual has an effect only
in the 8+24-bit mode.
4.3.1 Config File
The depth of the Raptor card can be set using the
/var/X11/TSIScreenConfig
file. Each row in the file
corresponds to a specific Raptor card that is identified by its device
name. The fields in each row are separated by spaces. In the
sample config file shown below the bit-depth of the Raptor
(
rapdlt0
) card is set to 8+24. The cached pixmap field is used for
debugging purposes only and should always be set to 1. The other
fields are irrelevant for this product.

4.3.2 STARSMODE Variable
The bit-depth of the Raptor card can be set using the
STARSMODE
environment variable. This variable should be set before starting up
the X server.
For example, set the bit-depth of the Raptor card to 8+24
#setenv STARSMODE +8+24
To set the bit-depth of the Raptor card to 8+8
#setenv STARSMODE +8+8
Other bit-depths can be selected in a similar manner.
In a multi-screen configuration of Raptor cards, this method will set
the bit-depth of all the screens to the same value.
NOTE: In the case when both the methods to set bit-depth are
used, the
STARSMODE
variable takes precedence over the settings
in the
TSIScreenConfig
file.
