Re: minor settings problems

The screenshot:

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 :)
