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).
