oh, and FYI, i was using 1280x1024 w/ a color depth of 24...  btw, i've
got a SS of me having some fun with the system...  it's got 5 OpenGL
screensavers running on MDK8.1 (one is ran as the root window),
enlightenment as the window manager, and 32 desktops each with 8 virtual
screens (or whatever E calls them)...  it's really pointless, i was just
wanting to push the system a bit to see what i could do! : ^ )
