Thank you very much John. Meanwhile I had managed to tweak a parallel
XF86Config from info I got within IBM. If you care I am appending my
XF86Config too.
Tried both and basically they seem to behave exactly the same.
I preferred leaving the config default at 8pp and when I need X in 16bpp
I launch it as startx -- -bpp 16 (with an alias x16).

The performance is allright with only one exception : when I drag
windows aroud the window repaint is AWFUL ...
Have a nice day.
