Limited by 16 bit?

Hi all, I have a problem here and Im a newbie so step by step would be great.

I cant use more than 16 bit (Thousands of colors) and I dunno why...I tried but I couldnt run X using more than 16 bit...running with 16 bit is ok.

Another very weird problem...I tried to run XF86Setup but nothing.

Im running RedHat8.0 and installed everything from the installation cds.

Maybe RH8 dont use another app instead of XF86Setup?

More info:
ASUS V8170
AOC Spectrum 7Vlr A

Driver problems?...I dunno how to install drivers and where can i get drivers...theres another solution?

If the card can handle it, you should be able to force it up to 32-bit color by editing /etc/X11/XF86Config(-4)[?] and adding the line:

DefaultDepth 24

like the following:

Code:

Section "Screen"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     24
                Modes    "1280x1024"

Cheers,
