If you can see 64 grey levels, and if they are greyt, not greenish, you 
can't be in 16 bitmode.

Hmm, 8 bits per RGB, so you aren't stuck in 6bit DAC mode
(although it might be worth looking for a DVI driver bug that
isa giving you 6-bit dac mode).

That suggests that your server has RENDER. I think that means
your application can give the server 16-bit data if it wants to.
Which application are you using to display your images ?
(Could your problem be your desktop setup ?).
