X-based applications can request other visuals directly if they are available. Alternatively, you can change the default visual by performing the following steps: a) Run "/usr/bin/X11/xdpyinfo" and check that your server is capable of using a 12-bit or 24-bit visual. If it is, you will see lines similar to the following: visual id, max buffers, depth: 0x28, 0, 12 visual id, max buffers, depth: 0x29, 0, 12 visual id, max buffers, depth: 0x2a, 0, 24 The last number on each line represents the number of bits available for that visual. b) Log in as root c) Edit the file /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers. By default it will contain the string: :0 secure /usr/bin/X11/X -bs -c -pseudomap 4sight for a 24-bit TrueColor visual change it to: :0 secure /usr/bin/X11/X -bs -c -class TrueColor -depth 24 for a 12-bit PseudoColor visual change it to: :0 secure /usr/bin/X11/X -bs -c -class PseudoColor -depth 12 d) Restart your X server as above. Note: X Server visuals are an advanced topic; before making the above changes you should be aware that some 3rd-party and freeware applications might not gracefully adapt to an X Server which supplies anything but an 8-bit PseudoColor visual by default.
