Well the depth you have selected for the video isn't supported, run
Code:
system-display-config
and set the right depth. For the supported depth please look into the manual of your mobo/graphics card or check the manufacturer's website. But, mostly depth 16 should work all right.

This command will not work in suse. Which display adaptor do you have?
