This should be correct. xdepth=16 is the default (because it works on
most notebooks).

I'm not sure if the xfree86 server really supports monochrome dithering
by just setting the bit depth to 1, but haven't tried it yet. Probably
you need an additional option in XF86Config-4 for this.
You may want to try xserver=XF86_Mono, which is a true SVGA monochrome
server from XFree3.3.
