I'd recommend getting rid the low low depth's: 1, 4, 15.  Also, add:
    DefaultDepth 24
near the top, and in each subsection "Display", add the resolutions your
monitor can handle, in order you want to use them.  eg, mine is:

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth 24

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       8
        Modes       "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       16
        Modes       "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes       "1680x1050" "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768"
"800x600" "640x480"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection
EndSection

then restart xdm and see how that goes...
