Very Computer

Hi

I have the following problem with my XFree86-3.2:
I can't tell the server to start with 16 bpp allthough
my hardware supports it. I can run it with or 8 bpp or
24 bpp as show below in my XF86Config. Does the S3 Server
not support 15 an 16 bpp?

My card is a HERCULES TERMINATOR (S3_Trio64V+, 135 MHz, 2Megs EDO)

Here is the relevant part of my XF86Config:

Hope anybody can help me

Try this: startx -- -bpp 16

Could you also post the status msgs written to console (ie. text output when
running X with the 16 bpp option: $ startx -- -bpp 16).
