Paul, Your display may be running at a lower pixel depth than you're used to seeing. Check the Screen section of your XF86Config that applies to your x server. If your server recognizes the DefaultColorDepth parameter you can set your default depth that way, otherwise you can use startx -- -bpp <depth> with whatever depth you want to start with.
