Re: enable 16bit and 24bit
Accelerated X (I'm assuming the server that Phil mentions) does indeed
support multiple depths (overlays) simultaneously. The 24bit depth is
useful for things like netscape, while the 8 bit is useful for things like
WABI, Executor, and Emress. (There is an overlay patch available on our
FTP site that corrects a problem shown by WABI)
