> Oh, great work! Thank you. From looking at the screenshot that you provided, it seems as if the 24-bit mode setting is broken. I'm not sure why the G200SE workaround applies to a G200ER, but we'll see.

I tested 'preferred_depth = 32' too. it works on T630 too.

so both 16 and 32 work, but 24 failed on DELL/T630.
