via xdm/kdm:
change the last line of /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers to
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -bpp 32
(or 16, or 24, whichever works for your video display)
via the command line:
startx -- -bpp 32
This is the best way to test it -- xdm will fail but keep trying to start
back up if you get it wrong above.
