Try 32bpp idl/linux believes 24bpp.

Try typing
device, true_color=24
I get the same error if I don't type it in (I am also running 1024x768,
16bpp).

16bit is your trouble. You could look into Xfree86 4.0, which permits hardware
overlays (8-bit pseudo-color within a 16bit session, for instance) on some
platforms. Or try restarting in 8-bit mode directly.
