I had a similar problem with trying to do 32bit. Got some help which led
me to the following solution:

In the "Screen" Section, just beneath the Monitor line add this:

DefaultColorDepth 24

And make sure you have something like:

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes       "1280x1024" "1600x1200" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" "640x400"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection

Beneath that.

`man XF86Config` for more info.
