I'm using 24bit color depth. When I switch to 16, I can't start X. It looks like white liquid in my screen.

Thank you for help.

uh, i don't know about that, but as said in update msg(when pacman installed your packages) RgbPath "/usr/share/X11/rgb"
should be deleted or commented out.. try doing that and see if you can startup then..

You have to add depth 16 to your display settings... change this
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
into this
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24 16 # <=here it is
EndSubSection
EndSection

Still can't change it. First I saw that strange white liguid, I was afraid my display is broken
klixon:
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24 16 # <= this results to parsing error
EndSubSection
EndSection
adding another SubSection or replacing 24 with 16 doesn't work.
test1000: I think it's not distro specific, because in mint it doesn't work either.
Maybe it's driver problem?

bump is allowed here?:D

How is it possible that I can run X in 24bit depth and can't in 16bit depth?

Ati's proprietary drivers does support only 24bit depth.

Q9: What colour modes are currently supported?
A9: 24-bit True Colour is currently the only native colour mode for the ATI Proprietary Linux Driver. 8-bit colour can be achieved using the pseudo-colour visuals feature, but may not work in all applications. 16-bit colour is not supported; if any of your critical applications require 16-bit colour, you should not install the ATI Proprietary Linux Driver.
