X color depth

costis · 2014-10-09 02:31:57

I am pretty sure I followed the steps of Wiki for installing X, but I think my color depth is low, given the circular gray stripes in this image:

I think the fade-out should be smooth, right?

How do I fix this?

I see the "stripes" as well. Where is the image from? It looks to me like the image is not as 'smooth' as you might want it.

EDIT: I just checked out the image - and it is neither the image nor your setup - that is just a very shallow gradient. Each of those "stripes" only differs by one point on each color value in 32-bit colorspace. If you want a smoother gradient it would have to cover a wider range of intensity or use a better algorithm for the gradient to allow for some fade (or dithering) - but in either case this has nothing to do with your display - this is what is in the image.
