24 bit graphics card in 8 bit mode

2007-12-25 11:26:00

Although I actually havent gotten any replies to my request heres the answer:

in .login I added this:

alias ow $OPENWINHOME/bin/openwin -dev /dev/fb defdepth 8

Which starts openwin in 8 bit graphics mode.

How you can verify: type the following command

#xdpyinfo | more

go to second page

look under Screen0, it looks like the below

screen #0:

dimensions: 1152x900 pixels (325x254 millimeters)

resolution: 90x90 dots per inch

depths (2): 1, 8

root window id: 0x29

depth of root window: 8 planes -------------------------> check is this 8

number of colormaps: minimum 1, maximum 1

default colormap: 0x21

default number of colormap cells: 256

preallocated pixels: black 1, white 0

Thanks,

Roger
