This one's a doosy.  


Guys, I can't seem to get X working properly here.  I'm starting X with
this command - 

	startx -- -bpp 24

Here's the output -

----------

Problem is that while it seems to be starting in 24bpp, it really isn't.
It's starting in what I think is 16bpp.  Any ideas?  

Below is the XF86Config.

# This is a set of standard mode timings. Modes that are out of monitor
spec

# monitor). With these modes, the best standard mode that your monitor
# and video card can support for a given resolution is automatically
# used.

-------------

Sorry it had to be so lengthy - I wanted to make sure all of the
information was provided.  :)

Anyhow, the system is:
	PII/233 - AGP Diamond FireGL 1000 Pro - 3DLabs server (I recently
	grabbed the binary of the server from xfree86.org, it was dated
	11/30).

I'm really at a loss here.  The output from startx doesn't seem to be
complaining about the color depth, but I can tell you by looking at it
that something is wrong.

Thanks for all your help.

Jim
