HI again, I found several Screen sections: "the kernel framebuffer server", "the 16-color VGA server", "the mono server", "the SVGA server", "the acceler server". So, where do I add "DefaultDepth 16"? Note that I have in "the kernel framebuffer server" screen sections the row "depth 16", in the "the SVGA server" and "the acceler server" screen section the row "DefaultColorDepth 32".

Any text editor works. The file is called "/etc/X11/XF86Config" (by default). Change the row "DefaultDepth 8" to "DefaultDepth 16" (no quotes). If you cant find a DefaultDepth row, add one into the Section "Screen". Then restart the X server,and it should work. // Jarmo ... > ... > > At this point I pressed Alt+Ctrl+Backspace and on the screen in character > > mode I got the error:" (EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONInitVisualConfigs > failed > > (depth 8 not supported).
