"startx --bpp 24" is Try "startx -- -bpp 24" Have a look at "xdpyinfo" for several X-server infos. If you want to run X with XDM, just edit /usr/X11/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers and add "-bpp 24" to the line starting the X-server. >what I type.

Does >this clarify the matter any? ;) Be aware of: Some older X-apps only support pseudo-color-visuals (for example an older version of xtici) and refuse running on true-color-visuals. Hope that helps.
