setting & switching screen densities

[Rick Hawkins <rhawkins@iastate.edu>]

X is now running, but it seems to be ignoring options.  It's a Diamond
stealth vram (#124), which is an S3.  I've set it for 432 under 8 bits,
and 32 under 16 (1mb vram).  But it seems to insist that the higher
density modes don't exist.  It's startup messages (the ones that are
left) annnouce 

(--) there is no mode definition mamed "1024x768"
(--) removing mode "1024X768": from list of valid modes"

then again for 800x600.

What am I doing wrong?

While I'm at it, the 2-bit questions:
1) what was the command to switch between screeen sizes?
2) for that matter, if i use xdm, how do i switch between 8 & 16?
3) the file /etc/xdm.dpkg-dist exists, but xdm isn't launching.
However, xdm from a root window successfully launches.
