From https://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=136676 came the following information:

"600x does support 24 bit color on the built in lcd.
Screen mode 118x is 1024x768 24 bit.
What screen mode is actually set, is up to the operating system and the program running."

From https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/suckless-sent-fails-to-display-images/#post-152967 came the following advice:

"Do you have any display related file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d as wildstar84 mentioned? If not, you will have to create one with the correct information. In this reddit topic the explain how to create a file named “99screen.conf”. It could look something like:

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Default Screen"
    Monitor       "Configured Monitor"
    Device         "Configured Video Device"
    DefaultDepth    24
    SubSection "Display"
        Modes        "1024x768" "800x600"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

The reddit topic can be found at https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/3n2800/how_to_change_color_depth_to_16_bit/

I created a file with exactly the same name and content in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory, but when I tried to reboot, the booot ended up with terminal style login prompt. Once logged in, it was possible to start X manually.

Apparently the file should not look quite like this. What should be different? Does it need another name? Should it be in another location?

Grateful for any help.
