[ REQ 5898]: Display Info for Geomview ...

I received the following message when attempting
to run 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
