Hello all,

This should be a simple question: How do I make X( via xdm) go above a 
color depth of 8. 

My video "Device and screen sections are below:

----------------------
# Device configured by xf86config:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "My Video"
    VendorName  "Video"
    BoardName   "Unknown"
    #VideoRam    2048
# Use Option "nolinear" if the server doesn't start up correctly
# (this avoids the linear framebuffer probe). If that fails try
# option "nomemaccess".
#
# Refer to /usr/X11R6/lib/doc/README.S3, and the XF86_S3 man page.
    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection


# The accelerated servers (S3, Mach32, Mach8, 8514, P9000, AGX, W32, Mach64)
