First, could someone send me email with information about high resolution
(e.g. 2Kx2K plus) frame buffers/monitors compatible with X Window System?

Second, are there any plans to provide a new visual class with a depth of
12 or more bits under the standard distribution of the X Widow System?  I
am concerned that we may otherwise exclude medical imaging applications--
which often require 12 bit greyscale images to capture subtle shadows--if
we don't extend the potential depth of the greyscale visual.
