I had the same problem. Configured the card as described in the faq. But
when I started X windows it started in 640x480x6bpp.

After swearing a lot I reconfigured X windows. When choosing the
different colour depts ONLY choose 1024x768 as Your desired resolution
fx. DO NOT configure 640x480 and 800x600.

Maybe this is not the nicest thing to do, but I solved my problem. :-)


When starting X windows type:

startx -- -bpp 16

to force 16 bpp.

That should solve Your problem.

I You need further information about it just send me an email.

Cheers
