You probably don't want to use depth 8? Add
DefaultDepth 24
to the Screen section (or 16 or 15, and make sure there's a matching
display subsection).
Ack! Tried that too. Now I get the following in the error log:

The screen flashes w/ some colored lines and boxes, then goes black
and the breathing-power-button-light on the front blinks until I
hold cmd-ctrl-alt-del to get back to the shell.
I'm losing hope!
I have seen some problems with older iMacs in the past (Mandrake Linux),
especially the Rev types. The problem was some flashing screen, the
solutions to this problem were either:
1) Option "composite_sync" "off" (in XF86Config-4)
or
2) to rename the driver in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules (libi2c.a) to have it
switched off.
