Assuming you have the drivers installed correctly, and your system is
properly configured: the most likely reason for this error is that
you're manually specifying a colour depth.  IF your X Server isn't
running at the depth you specify it won't be able to create the display.

Try switching SDL_SetVideoMode( x,y, bpp, flags )  to
SDL_SetVideoMode(x,y, 0, flags )  to have SDL give you a display at
whatever colour depth the server is currently running at.

Otherwise, details... details..
    Do other OpenGL programs work?
    Sample code.
    Video Card? 
    Driver version?
    etc.
