[ REQ 5855]: Problems with 16 bit deep displays.

[ohlsson at hendrix.ei.dtu.dk]

Hello,

When I start geomview on my 16 bit deep display I get the following:

ohlsson_~> geomview 
X-Geomview currently supports only 24, 8, and 1 bit
        deep displays.  No supported display depth was found.
        Please mail the output of "xdpyinfo" to
        software@geom.umn.edu

Ok,

Here is the output of xdpyinfo

Will You support 16 bit displays in the future ?
