Take a look at the manual page for XF86Config: Visual "visual-name" This optional entry sets the default root visual type. This may also be specified from the command line (see Xserver(1)). The visual types available for 8bpp X servers are (default is PseudoColor): StaticGray GrayScale StaticColor PseudoColor TrueColor The correct location is the Screen section in the /etc/X11/XF86Config file. Be sure to change the correct Screeen section, e.g. when using an accelerated Server use the Section with the Driver "accel" entry.
