Re: X at higher resolutions, and embedding lower resolutions

[Stephen Carpenter <sjc@delphi.com>]

edit /etc/X11/XF86zConfig (on a hamm system) or /etc/XF86Config (on a bo system)
and add the following line in the "Screen" section (the sae section that
lists  which monitor, vid card, and resolutions and server all in one)
DefaultColorDepth 16
it really does help....I can't stand 8 bit color
I love running X in 1024x768 32bpp   :)
