It is fairly easy to use. vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf Use the down arrow to go to the DefaultDepth setting and the right arrow to get over to the 24. Then you use the d -> space, to delete the 2 and the 4. Then select Esc, though I do not believe you have to, it has become habit for me to esc before moving on to a different command. Next you want to use the i key to begin inserting the new text. Type 16 at this point. Once you have that finished, select Esc -> : -> wq! -> enter. This will force the save. You should now be good to go. Kristian,

The Debian build I was using was an older version(don't recall which one). Thanks for pointing it out though. Anyone trying this should look for xorg.conf first and if it isn't present, try XF86Config-4 Steve,

I tried this with Windows Vista Ultimate as the host, Virtual PC 2007 and Debian GNU/Linux 4.0r1 (etch) - 15th August 2007. Isn't the file where DefaultDepth is edited to 16 called xorg.conf, rather than XF86Config-4? I changed xorg.conf and it worked for me. Thanks for the useful instructions.
