Try:
startx -- -depth 24
or maybe -depth 32.

I've seen this before, I don't think it will prevent it from working.

Again, this won't prevent it from working. You can fix it by adding
Load "freetype"
Load "speedo"
to the "Module" section.
If the -depth 24 works, then add "DefaultDepth 24" to the "Screen"
section.
