The X11 user's guide says that putting the following line:

	X -screen 0 -depth 8 &

in a .X11 file in the home directory will start X11 with color.  My problem is
that it does not seem to work.  In other words, I am stuck with black and white.
Does anyone know how I could fix this?  By the way, my screen is at zero and 
will support a depth of 8.
