The VGA driver only supports depths 1, 4, and 8.

You should use debconf to configure your X server.
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
In the future, when filing bugs against the XFree86 X server, please
supply the information requested by the XF86Config(7) manual page, or
use the "reportbug" package and command of the same name to file bugs.
Closing this report; configuration error on the user's part.
