For a complete description of the available mode on the display, type nview -help (and use it with -d option's) For example with my Diamond S3 864, "nview -d3 back.gif" use the 640x480x15 display. With the -pxx, you take the best display who match arguments. (Example: nview -p640x480x24 back.gif) -p0x0x0 choose the best display for the bitmap.
