4.3.1.2.2 Config File
The depth and resolution of the Raptor T-Class card can be set
using the
/usr/X11R6.1/etc/TSIScreenConfig
file. Each
row in the file corresponds to a specific Raptor T-Class 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 1100T (
rap1kt0
) 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.

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

. The
example below shows how to set the default visual to TrueColor for
the card
rap2kt0
.
#xinit -- $X11R6HOME/bin/Xtsi –Pll rap2kt0 –cc 4
NOTE: This method of setting the default visual has an effect only
in the 8+24-bit mode.
