OK, but you didn't mention *how* you're changing the resolution, or what
the X error is.
Take a look in /etc/X11. There should be some .conf file, like
xorg.conf. In there, look for a series of 'Subsection "Display"'
stanzas. In these, there should be a depth, and a number of
resolutions. The depth is the color depth in bits, which can range from
2 to 24. Change things around in here as you see appropriate while
logged in as root, then restart X (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace should do it).
Here's a tip: Make a copy of the old file before you start changing it,
so if you make any big mistakes, you can restore you old, working
configuration and continue using your computer.
Here's the relavent section of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "ASUS V7700 Pure"
Monitor "ViewSonic G810"
DefaultDepth 24
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8

Subsection "Display"
