XFree86 Configuration Error
Since the debian-x mailing list explicitly states "no user support
issues", I'll try again here.
Several applications are failing to display correctly in X11, due to a
problem with the display depths. I have been told I should have a
"display depths" something like this:
> xdpyinfo | grep depths
> depths (7): 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32
But instead, I get this:
> xdpyinfo | grep depths
> depths (1): 24
I include below my XF86Config file, can someone please tell me what to
change?
Thanks,

The Road goes ever on and one, down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone and I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet, until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say.
