4.3.1.2.2 Config File

The depth and resolution of the Raptor T-Class card can be set
using the

/usr/X11R6.1/etc/TSIScreenConfig

file. Each

row in the file corresponds to a specific Raptor T-Class card that is
identified by its device name. The fields in each row are separated
by spaces. In the sample config file shown below the bit-depth of
the Raptor 1100T (

rap1kt0

) card is set to 8+24. The cached

pixmap field is used for debugging purposes only and should
always be set to

1

. The other fields are discussed in 4.3.2.

NOTE: This method of setting the default visual has an effect only
in the 8+24-bit mode.
