What it is the meaning > of "Depth 16"? Just because you have depth 16 in there, it doesn't mean its running at that depth, try startx -- -bpp 16 and see if that fixes it, if not then try startx -- bpp 32. You can also put this in your XF86Conig, the line is: DefaultColorDepth 16 (or 32) Depth 16 means 16 bits per pixel which is something like 64000 colors, depth 32 is 32 bits per pixel, and is 16 million colors.
