I've just had a similar problem on an SS20 (default video); the only 
colour depth that worked was 32, which isn't one of the options given 
in the xserver-xfree86 configuration dialogues.

(For the benefit of anyone who doesn't know his way around XF86Config
files, go to Section "Screen", change DefaultDepth to 32, and add a
SubSection "Display" with Depth 32.)
