Bit-Depths


4.6.1 Setting Bit-Depths

The DL-Lite card supports 8-bit, 24-bit, 8+24-bit, 8+8, mox16,
mox24 and mox32 modes. By default these cards start up in 8-
bit mode.

These modes can be selected by modifying the

Device

section

and

Screen

section of the

XF86Config

file appropriately.


To set the bit-depth to 8-bit, the

"Mode"

option in the

Device

section needs to be set to 8 and the other values should remain
unchanged.

To set the bit-depth to 24, the

"Mode"

option needs to be set to

"24"

as shown:

Section "Device"

Driver "rapdlt"

BusID

"PCI:0:12:0"

Option "Device"

"/dev/rapdlt0"

Option

"Mode" "24"

Option

EndSection


To select the 8+24-bit mode, the

"Mode"

option should be set to

8+24

as shown in the following example. In this case the default
