32 and 24 bpp have the same color resolution (only 24 bits). If what you are seeing is banding, it's probably a driver issue. Laptop panels typically only have 18 bits of color resolution and this becomes visible if the graphics hardware isn't dithering from 24 => 18 bits. At least in the case of the "nv" driver for NVIDIA chips, there is an Option "FPDither" to turn that on. I don't know if other drivers support such options. Mark.
