startx -- -bpp16 no longer works ...

[Glenn Becker <glenn@icarus.usanetworks.com>]

Hi,

Hmm. I have been selectively adding Woody apps to my mostly-Potato system
for a couple of weeks now. 

The last salvo seems to have irked *something* in my X setup, but I can't
figure out what. I had always run the command

startx -- -bpp16

to get a nice display. Now, when I do this console brings up a list of
"Device Dependent Usage" options, then craps out with a couple of xinit
errors, to wit:

xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): server error

When I run 

startx -bpp16

I get 8bpp color.

Any suggestions as to where to look for a fix would be welcome. I searched
the archives on debian.org.

Thanks!

Glenn
