XFree 4 has lost resolution

[Ronnie Gauthier]

I dont know about the new x-server, my install of 7.3 went fairly smooth, in 
fact it went great. I was impressed. I do know that if you increase the 
colors the resolution must decrease if your card runs out of processor power. 
I have a S3 Virge(4Mb) in a box that will run 1024x768 just fine at 64K, go 
up to 16M and it will max out at 800x600. So I guess see if reducing the 
colors helps.
