Changing the DefaultDepth line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf should be sufficient.

Please attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log from the virtualpc system so we can identify
what hardware it's emulating, and avoid this in the future.

Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question?

Comment 3 Matěj Cepl 2007-08-16 20:45:09 UTC
Reporter, it would be really interesting if you could reply to the question in
comment 1. I would really like to know the information, however if you won't be
able to respond in a month, I will have no choice, than to close this bug as
INSUFFICIENT_DATA, which I really don'ŧ want to do.

Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to
investigate the issue further, and we have not received feedback to the
information we have requested above, we will assume the problem was not
reproducible, or has been fixed in one of the updates we have released for the
reporter's distribution.

Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade to the latest
update of their distribution, and if this issue turns out to still be
reproducible in the latest update, please reopen this bug with additional

Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA.
