You have to add each modeline you want ttto use for each depth you are
going  to use. A better (in many cases) solution is to add line
"DefaultColorDepth 16" to beginning of XF86Config file. You have modeline
1024/768 in 16 bpp section, and, havinng  2MB of videoram, you should be
able to enjoy those colors. (65K more than at 8 bpp)
