I was exactly the same until the fateful day that I needed to check it for the sake of compatibility with earth3D. Now I know better. The question now is really, 'how do i log it as a nice feature for the next release of KDE'?
Quoted Originally posted by UniCav I don't quite get the question. You set up your xorg.conf file and tell the Xserver what color depths and resolutions to use and set the default, then you use your desktop manager like KDE to choose which one you want. As for 'reading' the resolution there is tons of info in Xorg.0.log about what the graphics card and monitor are capable of and there are some other utilities like gtf that will calculate the exact modelines for your monitor. I wasn't particular...
A recent discusin over on LinuxQuestions has shown that no one knows how to change or even read off the colour depth setting for a desktop X session. Is there some uber-clever way of doing it or is it just a thing that hasn't been done yet? We can't even work out how to do it in X besides editing the default setting in xorg.conf :-(
