well
here's my 'xdpyinfo | grep' output:
[15501] $ xdpyinfo | grep depth
depth 1, bits_per_pixel 1, scanline_pad 32
depth 8, bits_per_pixel 8, scanline_pad 32
depth 16, bits_per_pixel 16, scanline_pad 32
depths (3): 1, 8, 16
depth of root window: 8 planes
depth: 8 planes
depth: 8 planes
so it LOOKS to me like i should be able to get
16bpp - but i cant. Even when i edit
/etc/X11/X0screens (the config file) - the X server
reports in the log that is sees my request - does not complain -
but afterstep colormap is still screwed up and thinks
it's 8bpp.
the manual startx --16bpp attempts tell me i can
only have 8bpp....
if i run the HP native wm - and then an xcolormap
all looks good - i can opens tons of apps with
lots of colors....
but astep - no such luck
any other thoughts?

:Could it be that your are running different bit depths in AS and VUE
:(btw, what is VUE?). You can check your bit depth in X by using
:`xdpyinfo | grep depths'. You should get a line like:
:
: depths (1): 24
:
:where the last number on the line is usually your bit depth. My guess
:is that you are in 8 bpp. If so, fix your X configuration
:(/etc/X11/XF86Config?).
