I have a 650 TI Boost with 3 monitors DFP-1 (DVI-D) 1920x1200, DFP-3 (HDMI) 1920x1200, and CRT-0 (VGA/DVI-I) 1024x76. I would like to run them at 24 bit color. No matter what I do, I get 16 bit color. Is this a hardware or driver limitation?
I’ve tried unplugging monitors and running single monitor and lower resolutions. No luck. This has been going on for a very long time. It is not specific to this kernel or driver version.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

When I try to use nvidia-settings to change the depth for x screen 0, it throws an error box:
Cannot Apply
The current settings cannot be completely applied due to one or more of the following reasons:
The location of an X screen has changed
The location type of an X screen has changed
The color depth of an X screen has changed
An X screen has been added or removed
Xinerama is being enabled or disabled
For all the requested settings to take effect,
you must save the configuration to the X config
file and restart the X server.
When I save the xorg.conf and reboot I get a GDM Oh no something has gone wrong!
The nvidia-settings generated xorg.conf:
