Yes, that's the case ! Found the configure option, so will try again with 
that enabled.

I'll keep that as option 2, I don't even know for sure if it can run in 
more than 8 bit ;)

btw, I didn't see configure options to disable building and installing all 
of the video drivers that I can't use.  Would a patch for configure adding 
options for this be accepted ?

Thanks,
Thomas
