RE: [UUG/MLUG] X server new problem, old one solved :)

["Morris, Joel A." <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I have a Matrox Millenium II 8MB.  This should be very close.  It is on my
computer a home and when I go home later tonight I'll e-mail it to you.

Okay, super, with the help of you all I solved the color depth problem.  I
didn't know you could set the default color depth in the config file.
However, I'm having another small problem.  As suggested by Paul in the
following comments, I tried to change the Identifier for the type of card
that I have.  The name "Matrox Millenium II 4MB" produces error messages
when I try to use it.  Does anyone know the exact name of the card that I
should give the config file.  Thanks.  You all have been super thus far.
