The screen looks very poor and for me it would be impossible to change this if someone wouldn't help. After creating custom xorg.conf file it became look fine - in 24 bit. So, if it could be, I think, that must be the default. Also in comments in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video- intel/+bug/1173649 it seems that default 15/16 bit instead of 24 is not the best choice. People doesn't understand why 15/16 is used instead of 24. I also doesn't see much difference, except the fact that 15/16 looks horrible.

Today with custom xorf.conf file I configured it and it works at 24 bit perfectly. What limitations ?

It's almost as if the hardware was spec'ed primarily to run at 16bit..

This is very simple for anyone. But in Linux I must know what is X Server and what is xorg.conf file, where it is situated and the more - how and what to write it to switch to 24 bit. I'm newbie and there some people who helped me with it. What the others should do in this case ?
