Since then, I've gone back into XConfig to tweak the settings (increased screen resolution to 1024 x 768, turned off the virtual display mode, etc.) Now I need to increase color depth to 16 bpp from 8 bpp. For some reason even invoking X window with the command, startx -bpp 16 doesn't change anything; I'm still in 256 color mode. Is there any difference between running XConfig and /stand/sysinstall? Which is better (or safer)?
