As it will help with most games, as they default to 640x400, and a 16bit depth in most cases, until you run and reconfigure the game. This is an extract from my /etc/X11/XF86Config file:- Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "NVIDIA Geforce FX5900 Ultra-VTD256" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection Even though my default desktop depth is 24bits, it will still run the game and switch to 8bit or 16bit modes.
