I think you're talking about kdm- in which case you might try 'init 5' (as
root, I believe). This should start X on tty7, and give you a login prompt
with the drop-down box of window managers/desktops. If you like it, you can
set up /etc/inittab to make this the default- change
id:3:initdefault:
to
id:5:initdefault:
and you're done! The next time you boot, you'll go straight into runlevel
5, which will start X and kdm automatically.
Also, instead of using an alias for startx --bpp16, you might add
DefaultColorDepth 16
to /etc/XF86Config, under the "Display" section for your server. That way,
it'll take hold for all users.
