Hi, John,
crtl-alt-+ will change the screen resolution, not the color depth. If
you want to change from 16-bit color to 24-bit color, exit X, and then
restart X with 'startx -- -bpp 24' for 24-bit color. If your desktop is
too big for your screen, set the virtual screen in /etc/X11/XF86Config.
For example, if you want a 1024x768 screen resolution in 24-bit color as
your default, add the line 'virtual 1024 768' in the 24-bit stanza of
/etc/X11/XF86Config. OK, good luck,
Hidong
