Re: Q: Why 24 depth/not 32?

[Erik Steffl <steffl@bigfoot.com>]

  I think there is separate display depth and framebuffer depth (maybe
there are other terms used instead of these, I don't remember exactly),
one is what you see (24 in my case, voodoo) and the other one is
internal representation on the card (32 on my system).
