It is 320kb...sorry for the size!
I've tried to go w/ 24bit as well, but didnt work, the wallpaper keeps the
same way....
My XF86Config-4 file:
======
(...)
Section "Device"
Identifier "S3 Inc. Savage 4"
Driver "savage"
# VideoRam 131072
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
HorizSync 28-49
VertRefresh 43-72
# Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "S3 Inc. Savage 4"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 16
(...)
========
(I commented two lines, and nothing changed)
Maybe now it is easier to understand :)
