How about posting the output of xrandr? That will tell us what modes are 
autodetected and configured.

Why is the default depth 16? How about changing this to 24 or 32?

And here also...

Yes, it would be useful. When troubleshooting X issues, it is always a good 
idea to post the output of xrandr and the contents of xorg.conf and 
Xorg.0.log, preferably simultaneously because the information in them is 
typically correlated.

Try to change the default depth above (on both lines) and post all three 
things in full so we can examine them.

HTH, :-)
