[ REQ 5500]: display depth?

[porada at jamaica.dbs.informatik.uni-muenchen.de]

Our currently display depth is 8, but 'geomview' call produces
the following message:

X-Geomview currently supports only 24, 8, and 1 bit
	deep displays.  No supported display depth was found.
	Please mail the output of "xdpyinfo" to
	software@geom.umn.edu

what's wrong?

thanks
