Xvfb – Fatal server error: Couldn’t add screen 0

i was attempting to launch Xvf (virtual x server) and i have noticed that if i specify 32 bit depth i always get this error. Its a bit strange becuase it works perfectly fine for 24bit and 16bit colors.

Xvfb :1 -screen 0 800x600x32&

The error i get is


Fatal server error:
Couldn't add screen 0

If i run in 24bit

Xvfb :1 -screen 0 800x600x24&

No error!
I dont know why!
