[This pertains to a conversation we had today in the meeting. Minutes
will follow at some point.]
Verified: if you boot my Ultra 5 and it is configured to 24-bit mode,
and you restart the X server a few times (I think four times for my
test), the machine goes comatose (stops pinging and monitor goes into
power-saving mode). There were no invocations of m64config during
this process.
So, 24-bit mode does not work on this hardware and OS version.
