I want to change my colour depth. I posted this, and got the following answer:
Create an
xorg.conf
file by runningXorg -configure
. Then edit theDepth
entry in theDisplay
subsection of theScreen
section.You can start an X server with a non-default depth by running e.g.
startx -- -depth 8
.
So I run sudo Xorg -configure
, but I get this error:
Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /temp/.X0-lock
and start again.
So I run sudo rm -rf /temp/.X0-lock
.
And then I run sudo Xorg -configure
, but get this:
_XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running
Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running
What do I do? I have a PowerBook G4 running XFCE Debian.
Ctrl + Alt + Backspace doesn't (seem to) do anything. (?)
