There are areas where X11 doesn't fit in well. (Feel free to correct

The human eye cant do better than 9bpp, and thats in its most sensitive colour, green.
8,9,8bpp modes would be as good as is ever required.
Every time I hear someone that's "in to" graphics say this, I want to scream. Go ask John Carmack or Tim Sweeny if having more than 8-bits per channel is useful. 64-bpp or 128-bpp isn't useful for display, but is useful.
