Excerpts from internet.computing.freebsd-questions: 9-Dec-97 X won;t go above 8 bpp by _| im@basil.stthom.edu > This should be a simple question: How do I make X( via xdm) go above a > color depth of 8. In your /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers, modify the line so it reads :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -bpp 32 (or -bpp 16, whichever you see fit.) Another way to do this is with the DefaultColorDepth directive. Just insert it in your screen section as shown.
