Hi,
I can't startx in 24b color depth mode, I'm wondering why.
I tried to startx in 24b color depth mode with
startx -- -depth 16 :1
I can see the intial X backgroud (with the cursor), but then it went back
to console text mode. To verify, I tried
startx -- :1
and it worked.
Comparing the 2 logs, there is nothing significant except this:
