I guess I don't comprehend the Config file, but for the life of me, I can't
get Xwindows to get out of this crappy 256 colour mode.

Here is my XF86Config file... I don't understand how the "ServerLayout"
section line about Screen matches the various depths later in the Screen0
section?

Any suggestions on what to change??

Section "ServerLayout"
