16 bit?

Post by Alex-is-Mclovin »

I am trying to run a program that asks me to change my system setteing to 16 bit. How would i do this through wine? Or would i go under my OS and do it?

Wow sorry for this post . I looked up the app in the DB and it says i should just play in full screen mode

Edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. There should be comments in that
file to help.

From what I know - there is no way to do it "through wine". Either edit you
/etc/X11/xorg.conf (as already mentioned) or - try something like this in a
terminal:

xinit /usr/bin/xterm -- :1 -ac -depth 16

If you have permission - it should run additional X session and switch you
there - to get back to your previous session press ALT+CTRL+(usually) F7 (if
this shows console screen - try other F's) or simply close xterm window.
