Check the settings of your Monitor in XF86Setup. X checks all modes it
is able to start wether it would harm your monitor. If a mode exceeds
the limits of your monitor set by XF86Setup, it discards the mode. You
may end with "no valid modes". If you scroll back with <Shift>+<Pg UP>
(if it is possible), you might see why the modes are discarded.
Choose 8bpp for a starting point (you can always change that later).
HTH,
Jens
