Help with XF86Config video mode

[scism31]

I got KDE up and running but im having problems getting it working with the 16 depth video mode. It seems to only work with an 8 depth video mode. I think its running under 1027x768 resolution. Can anyone help me and tell me what needs to be changed in my XF86Config file. I don't mind running in 800x600 just as long as i can get the color depth to 16. I can never get X to work using the xf86config setup utility. I had to use XFree86 -configure just to get it going.

Here is what i have in my XF86Config file.

So pretty much, replace this:

SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"


with this:

SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection


and change default depth to 16. You could do that with any resolution.
