Is there a boot option available to define the DefaultColorDepth for the graphics card when using antiX as a Live CD? The default is 16 and I would like to set it to 24.

try vga=792 if you have 1024x768

I changed the default vga=791 on the boot options command line to vga=795 to get a 1280x1024 24 bit color depth. That does change the text on the console screen as antiX is booting up, but it did not cause the configuring of the X.org graphical display to be changed to a 24 bit color depth.

I am looking for boot options like"hsync=" and"vsync=" which change the configuration of the"/etc/X11/xorg.conf" file. In this case, the wanted boot option would modify the DefaultColorDepth parameter.

Knoppix has the cheat code of"depth=" to make this happen. I was hoping a similar option exists in antiX.

My current approach is to manually edit"/etc/X11/xorg.conf" to change the DefaultColorDepth to 24 bits, logout, and then login. That works, but it is cumbersome.
