Cristina,


Your xdpyinfo.out does show your default visual is running in TrueColor mode.
  visual:
    visual id:    0x20
    class:    TrueColor

You should be able to configure your display by exiting the window system
and logging in as root to the command line login and running linuxconf or
kdmconfig.
