5.6.2 Setting Bit-Depth on T-Class Cards


The T-Class cards support the 8-bit, 24-bit, 8+24-bit, 8+8,
mox16, mox24 and mox32 modes. Radar Scan capable
versions of T-Class cards additionally support mox16radar,
mox24radar and 8radar. 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 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 bit-depth to 24, the

"Mode"

option needs to be set to

"24"

as shown:

Section "Device"
Identifier

"Raptor1.1KT"

Driver "rapt"

Card

BusID

"PCI:0:12:0"

Option "Device"

"/dev/rap1kt0"

Option

"Mode" "24"

Option

"ScaleCursPos" "on"

EndSection


To select 8+24-bit mode, the

"Mode"

option should be set to

8+24

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

visual is 8-bit

.
