"I tried 32 bit but it didnt seem to like it, anyone happen
to know how to force X to use a 32 bit zbuffer by default?"
You can set it to 24 bits though. The rest (8 bits) is used for stencil buffer.
EDIT: There's more to it though. I read it's best to use 16 bit zbuffer with 16 bit color buffer and 24 bit with 32 bit color buffer, else there might be slowdowns.
Anyways, best to google it and find out more.
