This setting can be found in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ; it can be modified by invoking `dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg` in a Root Terminal, as the very last dialog after setting the desired WxH.

For reference, as per dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg:

So-called "32-bit color" is actually 24 bits of color information plus 8 bits of alpha channel or simple zero padding; the X Window System can handle both. If you want either, select 24 bits.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask michael for more information if necessary.
