Subject: Could someone help me to understand why Mol causes X to crash?

The situation: iMac rev. B 96 mb ram mac os 8.6 an YellowDog CS 1.2
kernel 2.2.15-2.9.0
Using XF68_FBDev distributed with the CD;
I use starting mol from the console: I start Linux, log in in tty1, then
startx in tty7, then go to tty2, log in again and start mol in
full-screen video in tty8
There are three possibilities depending on which depth I choose in the
XF86Config file:
depth 24: when I switch back to KDE in tty7 with Ctrl-alt-F7 moving the
mouse I have strange color effects that make unusable the X session and
I have to kill it
depth 15: when I switch back to KDE in tty7 with Ctrl-alt-F7 X crashes
immediately
and I get this message from gdb /etx/X11/core:
"Core was generated by /etc/X11/X :0 Program terminated with signal 5,
trace/breakpoint trap"
depth 8: everything seems to work fine
Since this situation is a very frustrating one, could someone give me
some suggestions?
Tahnks to everybody.
Bye.
