THEN die if it can't do that, either. :^) this sounds like a good long-term solution. as a short-term workaround, maybe xdebconfigurator (or discover) could maintain a list of cards that don't support 16 bit color depth, but support 15 or 24. i don't suspect it to be a long list, and it will hopefully eventually be obsoleted. you could check against the pci id, or the string for the card identifier(the 4th column for discover1-data), though i suspect the pci id would be better. live well, vagrant
