Because the newer S3 servers limit the bandwith in 16bpp. There is a constant in the server which can be increased. Unfortunately it is very demanding to recompile the X server. Because that I've made a binary patch to mine (very ugly thing to do, but for me it works). I can dig out how to do that patch to your server, or send my binary and config file. Warning: the XF86 people had a good reason to do that limitation. You can burn out your ramdac with this patch, if you are unlucky enough.
