Good guesses. I am using Debian Sarge which uses XFree86.

I checked my XF86Config-4 and it was set to use 24 bit colour-depth as 
the default. So, that must not be it. Must be some setting the graphics 
card needs or a problem with the drivers I got from NVIDIA.  The OpenGL 
screen savers work ok though. So that doesn't make much sense to me. My 
application draws very slow.

Thanks,
