[ REQ 5688]:

[dayrob at vis.toronto.edu]

I have linux installed on a pentium 60 MHz and I run XF86_VGA16 as the X
server. My problem is that geomview gives me the following error

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

In a couple of days I plan on using the VGA256 X server (I need to get
more RAM). I don't know if that will make a difference. Anyway, here
is the ouput from xdpyinfo
