----------------------------------------------------
Fontpath is set correctly, xfs up and running. When I change to 16bits works perfect.

I went through the complete vncserver script commenting out every line
of the Xtightvnc command until the server started. The "-depth 32"
option leads to this error.

Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex, latest updates & backports installed.
