 (WW) RADEON(0): Mode 1680x1050_60.00 is out of range.
 (WW) RADEON(0): Valid modes must be between 320x200-1600x1200

Did you tried to fool it with:
ModeLine 800x600_60.00 147.1 1680  ?

Re: [XFree86] XFree (4.3.0) 32b graphics ...

 I'm quite a noob on Linux (and so with XFree86), and I'm asking myself if it
 is possible to set color depth up to 32bpp or not

AFAIK there are not graphic cards with colour depth 24.

 ... In fact, all my JPEG  pictures that look pretty good on Windows
 (32b color depth) are ugly under Linux 24b color depth

Wrong gamma correction ?  (man xgamma)

 ... And as far as I know, the 24b color depth of my XFree may be in cause

No, it isn't.

 ... Any idea ? Maybe is it possible to force 32b color depth ?

You can set the frame buffer at 32bpp, but the card use only the
first 24 to represent colours.

I had a 7300 some years ago. That thing has the control display device.
You have to configure the kernel accordingly and then tell X to use the
fbdev as output device. I used X v3 at that time, I don't know if
something is different now.

 I'm no newbie linuxuser but I've had this problem (well it's not really a
 problem, just a thing that annoys me a lot) for all my years of linux
 usage and have never been able to fix it. How do I get truetype-fonts to
 look exactly as good as they do in MS Windows? I've read many guides,
 tried many different solution but TT-fonts always look bad in some way
 or another.

freetype2 is usually compiled without the bytecode interpreter due to patent
problems. If you want fonts look almost identical to windos, you have to
recompile ft2 with the interpreter enabled (and all programs which statically
linked it).

 What's your $DISPLAY set to?  If it has your hostname in
 remove it (i.e. setenv DISPLAY :0 and not amidala:0)

No, it's just :0...
