I've committed some code that tries to select an optimal visual for the
requested Mac color depth. However, I was only able to test it with X
servers that support exactly one depth so it is possible that some logic
in the code is wrong. I have tried it with the 8+24 overlay mode of my
Matrox card with XFree86 4.0.3 but that gives me a BadMatch error when
trying to open a 24-bit window, for no apparent reason. Several parts of
GNOME also crash in the 8+24 mode, so I suspect an X server bug. The
8-bit visuals work fine, but have some kind of "semitransparency" that
is a miracle to me...

Bye,
Christian
