(Did you see Keith Packard's reply

to your last question ?)
The mga driver definitely supports 32bpp mode, even in *4.0.1.
What does it say when you ask for 32bpp mode ?
Can you put your config (/etc/X11/XF86Config-4) and log
(/var/log/XFree86.0.log) on the web, and email us the URLs and
the command you use to run X ? If not, email them to me and I'll see
if I can see where you are going wrong.
*4.0.1 is very old, please upgrade to 4.2.0 before you complain about
missing features.
