Sorry i cant agree there.
xf86config "will" configure what others cant, espesialy unsupported cards.
One possable explanation for xf86config setting color depth to 8 is, that
one can startx using -- -bpp8 or 16 or 32
Here is how i start x from my profile.
if [ -f /tmp/.X0-lock ]; then
echo "X already running..."
else
startx -- -bpp 16 2>&1 &> /var/log/startx.log &
fi
#
So i login to my system and it looks to see if X is running, if yes, then
it says
X already running...
If its not then bang, X starts and exits from the console where it was
started.
make sure (if you use the above) that /var/log/startx.log is owned by the
user who starts X.
