<pre>After installing xubuntu 13.10 on old computer with Intel 845G graphics adapter
i found that color depth is low. The screen looks very poor and for me it would
be impossible to change this if someone wouldn't help. After creating custom
xorg.conf file it became look fine - in 24 bit. So, if it could be, I think,
that must be the default. Also in comments in
<a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1173649">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1173649</a>
it seems that default 15/16 bit instead of 24 is not the best choice. People
doesn't understand why 15/16 is used instead of 24. I also doesn't see much
difference, except the fact that 15/16 looks horrible.</pre>
