You need more than 256 colors (8bit) if your graphics card supports the
resolution you want at 32k colors try this.
If you run XFree86 you have to add a line in XF86Config in the "Screen"
Section which says ' DefaultColorDepth 15 ' (or 16 for 64k colors)
e.g.: 

Section "Screen"
   Driver          "SVGA"
   Device          "Primary Card"
   Monitor         "Primary Monitor"
   DefaultColorDepth 16
   BlankTime       10
   SuspendTime     20
   OffTime         40
   SubSection "Display"
      Depth        8
      Modes        "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768"
   EndSubSection
   SubSection "Display"
      Depth        15
      Modes        "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768"
   EndSubSection
   SubSection "Display"
      Depth        16
      Modes        "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768"
   EndSubSection
   SubSection "Display"
      Depth        24
      Modes        "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768"
   EndSubSection
   SubSection "Display"
      Depth        32
      Modes        "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768"
   EndSubSection
EndSection
