Thanx, it=B4s working now.
It was my fault, I tried starting 16bpp in 1280x1024 but my
vgacard is to old for that. In 1152x864, it works fine.
Is there a possibility to have 16bpp as standard color-depth,
or can I add this"-- -bpp 16" in any configfile?

>=20

I simply alias startx to the following to get 16 bit colour
depth:

   startx -- -bpp 16

I beleive that that the option has changed to -depth in XF86
version 4.
