STARSMODE Variable

The bit-depth of the Raptor DL-Lite card can be set using the
STARSMODE environment variable. This variable should be set
before starting up the X server.
For example, set the bit-depth of the Raptor DL-Lite card to 8+24
prompt% setenv STARSMODE +8+24
To set the bit-depth of the Raptor DL-Lite card to mox16
prompt% setenv STARSMODE +mox16
Other bit-depths can be selected in a similar manner.
NOTE: In the case when both methods to set bit-depth are used,
the STARSMODE variable takes precedence over the settings in the
TSIScreenConfig file.
4.3.1.2

Config File

The depth of the Raptor DL-Lite card can be set using the
/usr/X11R6.1/etc/TSIScreenConfig file. Each row in the
file corresponds to a specific Raptor DL-Lite card that is identified
by its device name. The fields in each row are separated by
spaces. In the sample config file shown below the bit-depth of the
Raptor DL-Lite (rapdlt0) card is set to 8+24. The cached pixmap
field is used for debugging purposes only and should always be set
to 1. The other fields are discussed in 4.3.2.
# device Depth
rapdlt0 8+24
The default visual in 8+24-bit mode is PseudoColor. In order to set
the default visual in the 8+24-bit mode to TrueColor, the X Server
should be started with command line option cc set to 4. The
example below shows how to set the default visual to TrueColor for
the card rapdlt0.
