In reply to Matt's words, written Thu, 13 Sep 2001 12:06:57 -0500 >> 16 bit 1024x768. But I cannot rule over your money, of course. >> >What about 24 or 32? Whenever screen res comes up in linux groups--from what >I can see--16 bit seems to be the norm. I'd really like to get at least 24 >bit color on my machine, but I can't get beyond 16. Is this a video card >thing or something about linux itself that forces this restriction? It is mainly a driver thing. And some experience. Lots of applications (Netscape is famous for this) do not like 24bit colors. If your hardware / driver combo support 32bit and you see the difference between 16 and 32 bit, then go for 32 bit. My eyesight is color deficient so I do not need more than 16 bit. That's why I slip into that.
