Setting 24 Bit Color
To set your default X server visual to 24-bit TrueColor, edit the following file:
/var/X11/xdm/Xservers
Be sure to back up first. To set it to 24 bit change it to this:
:0 secure /usr/bin/X11/X -bs -nobitscale -c -class TrueColor -depth 24 -solidroot sgilightblue -cursorFG red -cursorBG white
All one line. Save, log out then in. You can make sure the resolution is set by running xdpyinfo. Look for "default visual id":
number of visuals: 26 default visual id: 0x34 visual: visual id: 0x34 class: TrueColor depth: 24 planes available colormap entries: 256 per subfield red, green, blue masks: 0xff, 0xff00, 0xff0000 significant bits in color specification: 8 bits
