So, what is colour depth?  Mine is set to 24.  What does that mean and 
what other possible values are there?

Section "Screen"
   Identifier "Screen0"
   Device     "Videocard0"
   Monitor    "Monitor0"
   DefaultDepth     24
   SubSection "Display"
       Depth     24
       Modes    "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
   EndSubSection
EndSection


I also know my monitor has more modes than the ones listed above.  
Windows gives me about 8 options and they all work.
