xdm-screen 16 bit?
Hi, what do I have to change if I want the xdm-login and all further screens to be at least 16 bit (when I dont use xdm I get the right screen depth with xinit -- -bpp 16 but how does this work with xdm)?

Change the entry in your /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers file to :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -bpp 16 Or, generically, set DefaultColorDepth 16 in the Screen section of your /etc/X11/XF86Config.

It has the command-lines which are used to start up the servers. Add the '-bpp 16' to the command line. For instance, in my /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers, I have a line: :0 DEC-P90 local /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_S3 :0 Which would change to :0 DEC-P90 local /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_S3 :0 -bpp 16 to have 16 bits-per-pixel. Yes, my friend, had you Read The Fine xdm Manpage you would have easily discovered the answer. -- Jens B.
