Change the default depth to 16 or or 8 and try that.

DefaultDepth 24

I'm no expert but it may help to know a little more about your hardware setup?

Did you try setting the default level lower? - Can we get a look at the whole 'Srceens' section of XF86Config?

$ /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 -configure

Though I wouldn't think you'd have much better success. Can you answer the questions I put above? - Also, you should get on the net and find the specs for your monitor...
