[LightDM] How to change depth of display from 24-bit to 16 or 32?

[Ken Stailey]

I got it to work by taking out the quotes.

fails:

xserver-command="X -depth 16"

works:
xserver-command=X -depth 16

Let me ask this a different way.

How do I launch X from lightdm with a command line option?

I tried adding
xserver-command="X -depth 16"

to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and lightdm would no longer start the X server.

Thanks,
Ken
