In Ubuntu 9.10, how do I check my color depth?

Question

xdpyinfo | grep depth gives me many answers, I'm not sure which one I want. Google says to look at my xorg.conf, but Ubuntu 9.10 has no xorg.conf.

Answer 1

Type in xwininfo at the terminal then click in a window on screen, the "depth" value is colour depth. ( via Ubuntu Forums )
