I might be erring, but dexter.py is nothing else than a graphical frontend
to xconfigurator, so you should have and already used it ...

What color depth do you get for your console? I haven't discovered all
secrets of video-configuration of YDL yet, but it seems that I can't use
truecolor for X if my console runs at 8bit-color. "fbset" should give your
info on the video mode your console is set to.

BTW, does anyone know what happened to the vmode-command in YDL ???? There
seems to be another command "nvvideo", but that doesn't change anything,
well at least commands like "fbset" still work ...;

Greetings, Markus
