I have this same problem when trying to run X in 24bpp. The reason shown
in the X start up messages is that pixmap caching is disabled when I try
to run in 24bpp. I assumed it was due to a shortage of video memory. (i
have 4096). I never really pursued it, though, because I'm quite content
with 16. You should check your startup messages and if see if this is
happening for you as well.
