Any Linux SLers have this problem?

I've had this happen before, and I'm not sure how I got around it, but it has come about again, and when I try to start up Second Life, its telling me that I need to be running 32bit color. But to my best ability, I cannot find anywhere to get the X server to run 32bit, highest being 24bit. Also, I'm currently using Cedega 4.2

I recall having that problem with WineX 3, but I don't remember how I fixed it.

Right now, I'm using a custom-compiled version of WineX 3.3, available at http://statspage.dyndns.org/~mark/SecondLifeLinux.tar.gz

Look on the wiki newview entry for --ignorepixeldepth [or similar], launch SL with that parameter, and it works fine. :)

Thankyou Phoenix for telling me this earlier. :)
