Otoh, 15/16bpp is a good choice for the limitations of that hardware. How can it be a good choice if 24 bit working good: in Windows XP and in Xubuntu 13.10 (with custom xorg.conf) ? Today with custom xorf.conf file I configured it and it works at 24 bit perfectly. What limitations ? Because the Windows driver defaults to 16bit as well... It's almost as if the hardware was spec'ed primarily to run at 16bit.. The thing is that in windows I just do right mouse click and choose display resolution and color depth. This is very simple for anyone. But in Linux I must know what is X Server and what is xorg.conf file, where it is situated and the more - how and what to write it to switch to 24 bit. I'm newbie and there some people who helped me with it. What the others should do in this case ? That's a fair comment, but that's a bug for the software you using to configure your displays, gnome-control-centre maybe? I am fed up with having this argument. commit 539b749416b275d84e05e2a5b62d946903aa3d29 Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Date: Fri Jan 31 18:02:51 2014 +0000 sna: Use 24bpp rendering by default for gen2 again (In reply to comment #6) > I am fed up with having this argument. > > commit 539b749416b275d84e05e2a5b62d946903aa3d29 > Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> > Date: Fri Jan 31 18:02:51 2014 +0000 > > sna: Use 24bpp rendering by default for gen2 again Thanks. This will be very comfortably. |
