HI again, I found several Screen sections: "the kernel framebuffer server",
"the 16-color VGA server", "the mono server", "the SVGA server", "the
acceler server".
So, where do I add "DefaultDepth 16"?
Note that I have in "the kernel framebuffer server" screen sections the row
"depth 16", in the "the SVGA server" and "the acceler server" screen section
the row "DefaultColorDepth 32".

Bye,
Ugy

Any text editor works. The file is called "/etc/X11/XF86Config" (by
default).

Change the row "DefaultDepth 8" to "DefaultDepth 16" (no quotes). If you
cant find a DefaultDepth row, add one into the Section "Screen".

Then restart the X server,and it should work.
