[LightDM] How to change depth of display from 24-bit to 16 or 32?
Hi, I am testing Oneiric on QEMU guests and they default to 24-bit X display. How can I change that to 24-bit to 16 or 32 for testing? Current tickets: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/843448 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/844764 Searching shows that X is started by lightdm. lightdm man page says: ????? --xserver-command=COMMAND ????????????? Command to run X servers I can't find the lightdm.conf man page or other documentation.? I just want to make lightdm add "-depth 32" to its invocation of X. How do I do that? Thanks

Let me ask this a different way. How do I launch X from lightdm with a command line option? I tried adding xserver-command="X -depth 16" to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and lightdm would no longer start the X server.
