Sounds like you're running out of colors, probably because you're
running X with a bpp depth of 8. Though that can happen with higher
bpps. Sounds like you've got a new machine, so you ought to be able to
do 32 bpp unless you're video card isn't well supported. Check your
/etc/X11/XF86Config for the "DefaultColorDepth" line.
