Same here, with a Nanao/EIZO FlexScan L360 monitor. So far I've only
been able to get XF86_VGA16 to run :-(

You could try the monitor specs (if you have'm, that is). I've added
a number of modelines to my XF86Config based on the specs. That (ever
so slightly) improved the screen appearance, but I still can't get the
XF86_SVGA server to produce anything but a "no signal" screen. :-(
BTW, when I run XF86Setup without my current XF86Config I get a better
look than running it with. The latter kind of "vibrates", it's as if
there's a number of slightly darker lines moving across the screen.
It's most noticeable before the user interface shows up. The really
odd thing is that I don't see that behaviour when I `startx`. Hmm.
For what it's worth:
