The place to make the selection for Xdm (which is * what I use to start a server) is in X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers. It's not * exactly clear to me where the choice should be specified for a startx user, * perhaps your $HOME/.xserverrc file? I use xinit -- -bpp 16 Satoshi (and I think startx sucks the same options too)
