<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><tt>You can get 1024x768x24 under Linux also, just without hardware 3D
acceleration... I believe this is a design decision in the DRI
framework that mesa is using, allocating back and depth buffers for
the benefit of the cards that have enough VRAM, sacrificing support
for those old cards that very few people use, or would use for 3D
graphics.
