Thank you Carl! I checked my xorg.conf (because I don't know how to |
| 27 |
change but-depth in a gui) and changed my default Depth to 16 instead of |
| 28 |
24, and in the end, that's the only thing that worked. Sorry it's been |
| 29 |
so long, but I have been busy with Slackware on my girlfriend's laptop. |
