FWIW, I'm running XFree86 4.0.1_10 at 24 bpp on ATI hardware, and
acroread 4.05 works just fine (as do gv and xpdf, although the font
rendering is dramatically different between acroread and its open
source counterparts). I'm a KDE 1.1.2 user, FYI.
FYI, my .xserverrc:
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/X -depth 24 -pixmap32 -fbbpp 32 :0
The "-pixmap32" flag allows application pixmaps to work correctly. I
found that using a 32-bit framebuffer also helped some problems I was
having, but I have forgotten what those problems were.
