Ok, I am **not** saying that these settings will work for you!
but from my /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config the parts or interest are:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "IBM 9514-B TFT Panel @ 1024x768"
VendorName "Unknown"
ModelName "Unknown"
HorizSync 48.0-65.0 # defaults
VertRefresh 60.0-75.0 # defaults

IMHO I think the timing 'stuff' is for real CRT monitors (in the case of
laptops an external monitors) and are only needed because of the way
that XFree is written and that the LCD (TFT) will display the image if
it conforms to the resolution, depth of the LCD. Remember this is only
my option.
In any case the above works for me. I can have 8,16 or 24 bpp, at 24bpp
there is no acceleration. I suggest you look at the file :
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.neo
One last point, how much video memory do you have? I have 2.5 MB. This
of course plays a big roll in what resolution and depth you can have.
I hope this helps
