That's fine if I used startx, but I run xdm, this best solution I have seen so far is starting the server on another console. -Matt- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://169.244.227.129 MSAD#40 Home Page http://169.244.227.129/ss/MVHS Seed Savers Project +--+ | *To see tomorrow's PC, Look at todays Macintosh* | | * Debian GNU/Linux http://www.debian.org * | +--+ On Fri, 21 May 1999, dyer wrote: Matt Kopishke wrote: I have a small question about XF86 and color bit depths.

I know you can set kill the xserver and use: startx -- -bpp 16 If you have lots of memory (or even just lots of swap), you can start a second xserver without killing the first: startx -- -bpp 16 :1 ...RickM...
