I don't use xdm, so I start x in 16, 24 (you may not have this one) or 32 bit color like so: startx -- -bpp 16 substitute the bit depth you desire in place of my 16 I find on my little 15" monitor with a Mach64 2meg vram, that at 32 bit I can only go to a resolution of 800x600. I prefer to work in 1024x768 so I normally use 16 or 24 bit. I think 24 bit is a special mode that is possible due to my video card, ymmv.
