I thought I read a post earlier >that said 640x480x256 would work, but it doesn't work for me. I think those earlier posts were referring to the Speedstar 24 -- not the 24X. The 24 uses the ET4000 chipset, but the 24X uses a different chipset which I'm told is a descendant of the PVGA chipset. I have no idea if it is close enough to PVGA1 to work with XFree86 (looks like it isn't).
