With my Debian/potato, first thing I would do is to look and perhaps change
/etc/X11/XF86Config:
[21:46:40 /tmp]$ grep Default /etc/X11/XF86Config -B5 -A5
Section "Screen"
Driver "svga"
Device "Alpine"
Monitor "MAG DX1495"
DefaultColorDepth 16
StandbyTime 2
SuspendTime 3
OffTime 4
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
[21:46:52 /tmp]$
> How do I know how many colors the display uses btw?
There are probably many ways:
[21:47:49 /tmp]$ xwininfo
