colors xfce and firefox

darthaxul · 2008-09-30 04:21:04

I used to use debian x64 with xfce and iceweasel, now I got arch x64 and firefox. I set up fglrx drivers and use the aticonfig basic Xorg.conf. The thing that is different is the colors on the firefox and text seems to be really saturated im not sure if thats because it is using 32bit color vs debians 16bit?
Is there any way to tell for sure what my pixel depth color is?

xdpyinfo should give you the information you want.

Im not sure what Im looking for but can someone confirm that the first couple line down says 32... is that 32 bits for my color depth?

The first number is the default depth.

It also shows 32 so maybe I shoud try 32 instead and see what happens.

I tried 32 and I ended up having to ctrl_alt_del to get screen working again, same with 16 depth in xorg.conf.

The 24 is 32 bit. 32 bit is 24 bit with an alpha channel. Xorg simply doesn't report the alpha channel although it's usable.

I saw that my xorg.conf had no font paths, I think thats what was making the colors and text kinda blurry, I added some paths and seemed to fix that now.
