Try doing an xdpyinfo and looking for the visuals supported. As far
as I've seen (and I don't have a 16-bit capable server myself), when
in 16bpp mode, the X servers _only_ support that single visual. Thus,
you can't run in other visuals. (One reason that so many programs
break on 16bpp screens....)
