Hi x11-users

I have to unrelated questions.
-> I believe the color depth for X11 by default is 15 bits. i want to

I don't think this is true. I always had (in every version of Apple's X11 or xfree86, and I have been through quite a few of those) the same color depth in X11 as in the Aqua desktop.


change it to 24 bits. Can you tell me if there is anyway to do it? The rest of my screen *does* work with pretty rich colors. I mean the aqua stuff

The only cases I heard of where X11 was acting up were unusual display formats. You don't have a 23" display or something?


-> I want to know what should I do if I want to cleanout the entire X11.app installation including any config files and such. (any pieces of information will be appreciated :) ). Imagine you want to do a clean install of the xserver (either X11 itself or some other source based installation).

You can look at the receipts with lsbom, like

lsbom -p fST /Library/Receipts/X11User.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom | grep -v etc/X11 |grep -v usr/X11R6

which shows you what is installed outside of /etc/X11 or /usr/X11R6 (not much, anyway, except the inoffensive X11.app). Repeat this for the other packages X11* in /Library/Receipts.
