I want to run X in 16 bpp mode.  I know I can type "startx -- -bpp 16",
but I want to automate this so that all I have to do is type startx and
it knows I want 16 bpp.  Is there a way to put this information into an
existing config file?  I don't want to have to create a separate script
to run X that simply contains "startx -- -bpp 16".  Thanks in advance.

BTW, I finally got XFree86 3.2 installed!!!  I'm sooo happy to be rid of
MetroX :-)
