what i am really interested in is changing it from 16 bits to 32 bits... i think...
is that possible?

Did you try the cheatcode depth=24 ? You can look into /var/log/Xorg.0.log and search for bpp or depth. I can see the following sections in that log file if I use that cheatcode.
(II) Loading sub module "vgahw"
(II) LoadModule: "vgahw"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libvgahw.so
(II) Module vgahw: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 1.7.4, module version = 0.1.0

If fbdev driver is in use 16 bpp is all you get. Check it in /var/log/Xorg.0.log as klaus2008 suggested. If you see there LoadModule "fbdev" then you can restart Knoppix and use knoppix xmodule=vesa it will give you 32 bpp color depth. Even better is to load the driver for you graphics card, so you will have hardware acceleration
I am actually now running Knoppix from VM with a windows host...
Virtualbox says I can't use full screen unless the display setting is set to 32 bit on the guest OS?
I can't find fbdev on xorg.0.log.... so i guess i can't change it...
oh well... knoppix still runs all the machines i need to to run on... (except for the VM) so i am still a happy camper
found it!
but i can't save the changes... how do i make changes to xorg.0.log?
