No, there is not much difference. Only that instead of three siluets of
xterm there are only two now.

Changing -depth to 16 did not produce ay noticable change. BTW. I do plan
to use this depth as I was using it too with old Lenny installation.
This way I hope to get little faster graphics on this old computer.

Included are outputs from command 'xrandr --verbose' from Lenny and
Squeeze and also from Squeeze when started with -depth 16.

Thanks for looking into the issue
