Try the following from the user account that you want to use for X windows viewing. cd touch .xserverrc [Then use the editor of your choice to edit .xserverrc] [With the editor, save the following .xserverrc file in your /home/user directory.] exec X :0 -bpp 16 That should allow you to view with 16-bit color, and you may adapt it for the other color depths (if any) that your video card allow. I suspect that there may be other ways of doing it, also.
