[techtalk] X emulator for X?

[moebius at ip-solutions.net]

Hey Marie,
  Perhaps the easiest way to accomplish this is to use 
one of the pre-existing tools 
(XConfigurator,xf86config). Within these tools you can 
specify resolutions and color depths. You can choose 
your default color depth/resolution as defined by X 
-probeonly or you can choose to set you own. If you 
choose to set your own then you can define the color 
depth and resolution and when the XF86Config is written 
to disk you can startx and then cycle thru. If anyone 
would like I can certainly write a howto on this. Please 
let me know if there is any interest in this.
Regards,
Harry

the resolution but

do it?
