I had the same problem. With experimentation I found out that 15 bpp and 32 bpp work, but not 16 and 24. ??

I installed Xfree86-3.3.5, and the configuration tools, ran Xconfigurator, and rebooted. After much messing with my rc.local script (my fault it turns out)for a while I was able to get back to a command line, and test X. It turns oput I can only startx in 8 bit color or I get either Failed with signal 11 or no valid modes errors. I noticed In the announcment message that the X server will no longer run in 32 bit, but I am trying 16 bit and 24 bit as suggested, but with no success. Any suggestions would be greatly apprecaited as 8 bit looks gross with WindowMaker.

Thanks all!
