Problems with 915resolution and 24 bit mode

[cheparukhin]

I have a problem with starting X11 in 24 bit mode with 915resolution (I have I915GM video on Fujitsu-Siemens S7020D notebook). 16bit mode loads normally, but 24 fails and X11 prints that display initialization is failed. Here is a part of my xorg.conf:

Section "Monitor"

UseModes "TheModes"
Option "DPMS" "true"

cheparukhin,

Change your colour depth to 24 in both places, attempt to startx, whn it fails save the log file /var/log/Xorg.0.log as say, /var/log/Xorg.0.log_24.
Now sort out the mess and post the saved log file. It will tell us what the problem was.
