Hi..

I've got a new laptop that can only do 24bpp mode (toshiba satellite a200
ah6/Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics
Controller), if I'm interpreting the output of xdpyinfo correctly.

The laptop won't run games that do run on my older desktop machine, and it
looks like this bug is the reason.

I have tried the Xnest and vnc tricks, but they complain about being unable to
do 8-bit graphics as well.

I'd really appreciate it if this could work again.  Total Annihilation is still
a fun game!
