Test 5 has been uploaded to:

Screen bitfield formats are now automatically detected for 15, 16, 24, and
32 bits per pixel. I'm not sure if 24 bpp or 15 bpp works though, cause my
display can only do 16 and 32 bpp; 16 and 32 bpp have been tested on my
machine. This release has much better chances of working on those problem
machines that are out there, so please give it a try.
Those of you running at 8 bits per pixel will also notice that I have
started working on supporting 8 bits. The server will currently startup in
8 bits per pixel, but it doesn't have the correct colormap yet, so colors
are mostly black with some pink and yellow thrown in for fun :)
Enjoy,
Harold L Hunt
