There's now a distinction between 'depth' and 'framebuffer bpp'. There is no
depth 32.

You can set framebuffer bpp with the -fbbpp command line option (there
certainly is an XF86Config option as well, but I don't remember it). You have
to add a Display Subsection like this:

    SubSection "Display"
        Depth       24
        fbbpp       32
        Modes       "1152x864" "1024x768" "640x480"
        Virtual     1152 864
    EndSubSection

Hm. Can you build a static server and try to track it down in gdb?
