Color Depth is 16.

The problem disappeared after iserting the following in /etc/XF86Config:

      #
********************************************************************** 
      # Graphics device section 
      #
**********************************************************************

      Section "Device" 
      (...) 
          Option      "no_bitblt" 
          Option      "no_imageblt"
      EndSection
