Usually 24-bit color is desirable, but on graphics cards with <br>
limited amounts of framebuffer memory, higher resolutions may be <br>
achieved at the expense of higher color depth. Also, some cards <br>
support hardware 3D acceleration only for certain depths. Consult <br>
your video card manual for more information. <br>
So-called "32-bit color" is actually 24 bits of color information <br>
plus 8 bits of alpha channel or simple zero padding; the X Window <br>
System can handle both. If you want either, select 24 bits.
