Re: Video display question.
Thanks for all the help. It's much better now. I was looking at the

instead of "startx -- -bpp 24" so it stayed at 8 bit color. *blush*
let's just try to keep this between you and I and the hundreds of people
on the list at least one of which might learn from my folly. ;)
