In the "Display" Subsection of the "Screen" Section add a line
Visual "TrueColor"
So that it ends up something like:
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
# Visual "PseudoColor"
Visual "TrueColor"
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubsection
The default is "PseudoColor" because many apps that require depth 8
only look at the default - they are too stupid to look at all the
available visuals :-(
