Making the keyboard work right under X can be a nightmare. At least at
one point the Corel-shipped servers got this wrong as well. The BackSpace/
Delete thing is an XF86 "feature", I suspect, and probably not worth losing
sleep over.

To run it at other colour depths you need to first set the console into the
appropriate mode and then run X with the -bpp option. If you try and run a
16-bit X on an 8-bit console, it will give up with `invalid argument' or some
such.
