How do I change the colour depth? It says online to edit the xorg.conf file, but I don't have that. I am running Debian XFCE on a Powerbook G4

Create an xorg.conf file by running Xorg -configure. Then edit the Depth entry in the Display subsection of the Screen section.

You can start an X server with a non-default depth by running e.g. startx -- -depth 8.
