Below is an 'edited' section from your video configuration file, using your
choice of editor make the changes then save and restart the X server;


Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 32
SubSection "Display"
Depth 32
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

Notice the DefaultDepth change to 32 instead of 8 and the new 'Depth 32' and
'Depth 24' SubSections.
