The -bpp switch will only have an effect if the cooresponding color
depths are defined in the XF86Config-4 file. So, if you want to switch
between 8 and 24bpp by invoking X as such: (X ... -bpp 8/24), you'll
need both color depths defined in the config file in your "Screen"
section like so:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
...
...
...
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
Viewport 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
Viewport 0 0
EndSubsection
...
...
...
EndSection
