Sorry, reading over my post, I guess I was a little unclear. What I meant
is, I can set the -bpp just fine when firing up x manually using 'startx'
from the command line. However, I want to switch to using wdm, and I can't
figure out where to specify the -bpp. I'm fairly sure that 'startx' is
just a script, so there should be another way to specify the -bpp when
using wdm which uses .xsession file to initialize, rather than the
.xinitrc.
