No ideas, but mine works well. I have XFCom_Matrox Version 2.2 and called
opened a 32 bit session with: (alias X=Xwrapper)
pivory:~>X -query localhost -bpp 32 :1
xdpyinfo shows that I really got 32 bit: (selected lines)
supported pixmap formats:
depth 1, bits_per_pixel 1, scanline_pad 32
depth 24, bits_per_pixel 32, scanline_pad 32
visual:
visual id: 0x22
class: TrueColor
depth: 24 planes
IDL works as well: (selected lines)
IDL Version 5.1.1 (linux x86). Research Systems, Inc.
Date: Fri Nov 20 17:36:23 1998, colors: 16777216, tablesize: 256
IDL> help,/device
Available graphics_devices: CGM HP LJ NULL PCL PRINTER PS REGIS TEK X Z
Current graphics device: X
Server: X11.0, The XFree86 Project, Inc, Release 3320
Display Depth, Size: 24 bits, (1152,864)

It might be a problem with the XFCom_3DLabs server, but you want to
check with any of my configuration files, I will be pleased to send
them.
Best regards,
Kevin
