I never used Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 and SUSE. Maybe the video card detected is an 8-bit or you have a wrong X11 config.

I am not expert in Linux or X11, maybe try to read what's your xorg config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf). I doubt you have a config DefaultDepth of 8 on Screen Section. Maybe change it to

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

thanks bro! my videocard is definitely not 8-bit, i think you're right with the config file. by the way, how can i change the file from the command prompt (of Linux)?

To configure your xorg.conf manually.

1. backup the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf (i.e. cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.orig).
2. edit the xorg.conf (i.e. vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf) using any editor.
3. locate the section with the value of "Screen".
4. change the DefaultDepth to 24.
5. save the file.
6. restart your X by pressing CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE or restart the Linux.
7. run the command "dmesg", read the output what is the video card detected.

bro, I was able to locate the xorg.conf, nakit-an sad nako ang DefaultDepth. 24 ang iya value then naa sad didto 8 bit nga value. ako unta ganahan i-delete ang 8 bit nga value pero di ko ka-edit kay read only ra man ang xorg.conf. unsaon pag change sa attributes niya bro? thanks bro!

Login as root (type su -).

Daghan na ug mga values. Ang importante kay unsa iyang DefaultDepth value? Kung ang DefaultDepth kay 8 change it to 24.
