More colors in X

["John Boggon" <John.B@uq.net.au>]

How do I start X using more than 8bp ?

I've tried
                startx -bpp16
                startx --bpp16
                going thru all the startup and config scripts I could find
                reading how-to's and man pages
                hiring a witchdoctor

No luck..
I'm using the X-Free packages in hamm. Server is XF86_SVGA
Hardware is AMD K5-pr133 , 40meg ram and a S3-Virge-DX PCI video card with 2
meg of ram on it.

Once I get this figured out, my next question will be How do I tell xdm that
I want X-Windows started this way.

John
