[SPARCbook] 16/32 bit GS?

[Steve Conley]

My experience with my 3GX is that 32/16 bit color works GREAT with some
apps, terrible for others.  OpenWindows works great in 32/16 bit color.
The new VTWM works good, too.  KDE crashes when you iconify netscape,
but otherwise seems to work okay ... It's all a mixed bag.
