Very Computer

Hi,
I have an ATI Mach 64 Pro turbo with 2 MB RAM in my Linux machine.
Howeverr, when I run X, it runs at 256 colours.  I checked out the
XF86Config file, and it seems to have entries that would let the X server
run at higher colours, but it doesn't.  I tries starting the server with
the -bpp option, but it gave me some error message.

I'd like to know if X can run at 16 Million colours at 800x600 resolution
and with 64K colours at 1024x786 resolution.

Sincerely
Santosh Krishnan

startx -- -bpp 16

startx -bpp16 used to work for me, but now that I am using XFree86 3.2
it doesn't.

Re-run the configuration script and at one point you can select the
priority of resolutions and colors. I think you may have missed this
screen.
