Well, just got an answer from Thomas Leitner in Austria
which works:
Steps which led to the 24bit TrueColor visuals:
o installed Open3D which I got from
http://www.service.digital.com/open3d/swelsa_GLoria_Synergy.htm
o created directory /etc/dt/config
o copied /usr/dt/config/Xservers.con to /etc/dt/config/Xservers
o changed the X server line to:
:0 Local local_at_console /usr/bin/X11/X :0 -bs -su \
-screen 1280x1024 -vclass TrueColor -depth 24
(which gives me 1280x1024 with vsync 75)
o restarted the Xsession by: /sbin/init.d/xlogin restart
(it might be necessary to log in again and maybe
again some /sbin/init.d/xlogin start)
o The output of `xdpyinfo' is now:
