Thanks to all who replied (and those who will reply after I post this summary): Todd M. Wilkinson Alejandro Vega Michael Vang alan Sean Berry Tony Jenesss Kevin Buterbaugh Tony Tran David Levy Paul Richards my original message: --------> was looking for a way to switch my frame buffer (Ultra5) to depth 24 using something like: m64config -res 1280x1024x85 -depth 24 but it fails saying I haven't enough memory for depth 24! I found some descriptions on the web containig steps for switching into the desired mode but they all fail - I even can't switch to depth 24 at all - only having 800x600 resolution! What's the problem? Are those docus like http://archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu/General/CC/workstations/Solaris/ultra5-10_24bit _video.html incorrect? <-------- well, it seems to me, I' ve really got a very old Ultra5 - I even can't set up 1024x786 with depth 24. You know, I've got a 21" Monitor and it would be a bad joke driving it with 800x600 (or anything below 1280x1024 - for my eyes), so I stay by depth 8. There were some suggestions to buy a PGX32 card or even to get a newer Ultra5. The frame buffer FAQs can be found at http://www.sunhelp.org/faq/FrameBuffer.html Well, an older Ultra5 ca be driven with maximum 800x600 using the depth 24 rgds Pavlo Baron _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Fri Dec 7 02:35:10 2001
