Okay, I seem to have resolved this problem on my own.

I edited my /etc/X11/xorg.conf and inserted

        DefaultFbBpp 24

within: Section "Screen"

I know this is a trivial fix for me, but a lambda user would be stuck. I was honestly expecting the
BulletProof X system or something to show up. XKeepsCrashing does not offer much help.

I was also surprised to discover that there is no text-mode X configurator (at least that I could find).
