4.8.4 Restart X server utility (service mmtserv)
The service mmtserv utility can be used to restart the X server. By means of the options the color mode can be
determined. If the utility is called without option, the X server settings that were assigned in the X.11 configura-
tion are applied. Thus the utility enables to change the color mode without the necessity to run through the X.11
configuration. The following options are available:
option meaning
pseudo Restart X server in PseudoColor mode, 8 bpp
true Restart X server in TrueColor mode, 16 bpp
direct Restart X server in DirectColor mode, 16 bpp
true32 Restart X server in TrueColor mode, 32 bpp
direct32 Restart X server in DirectColor mode, 32 bpp
Table 4-41
options of service mmtserv
To restart the X server in DirectColor mode, with 16 bpp color depth the following input would be necessary:
service mmtserv direct
Alternatively the X server can by restarted by means of the entries in the work menu of the window manager,
please refer to section
4.5 Window manager.
Please keep in mind that a higher color depth requires also a higher bandwidth for graphic
data.
In addition, changing the color mode of the X server might change the color mode of video
or RGB and lead therefore also to an increase in required bandwidth for video, please refer
to section
4.2.2 Color capabilities of Eos to see which video color mode applies for which X server
color mode and if the X server color mode is applicable for the used graphic cards and to
section
4.6.1 The input cards to see the required bandwidth for video and RGB.
Both effects might lead to a loss of performance!
It is not possible to restart the X server in multi-color-depth, if an other color mode has
been configured in the X.11 configuration.
But if the X server has been configured in multi-color-depth it can be restarted with the
other color depths mentioned above. To revert to multi-color-depth the X server must be
restarted without option in the default setting.
