I don't have one - if I use it under X I get full-screen images without 
any X.

There is no 12-bit color, it will display at 15-bit if available or 8-bit 
if not.  I think BL3.40 was changed to 15 not 12.

I manually edited Xconfig to
1024x768x24  (if I have 4MB video RAM, or 16 for 2MB)

24-bit (truecolor) images would display probably faster and better at 
24-bit, so for 2MB video try

800x600x24
