Subject: 24-bit X for the SPARC 20 SX graphics subsystem with 8MB VSIMM?

I have a SPARCstation 20 equipped with an 8MB VSIMM for the SX 
graphics subsystem. NetBSD recognizes it thusly:

cgfourteen0 at obio0 slot 2 offset 0x0 level 8: cgthree emulated at 
1280x1024x8bpp (console)
cgfourteen0: attached to /dev/fb

This is actually capable (according to the documentation I have found 
- mostly the Sun Frame Buffer FAQ) of doing 24-bit deep, but starting 
Xsun24 only gives me 8-bit windows.

What needs to be done to support this 24-bits deep?

The answer(s) should be added to the NetBSD/sparc FAQ...

	curious,
