Monitor Res. Questions / XF86Config

I just recently installed 2MB SGRAM on my Rev. A iMac(to make a total
of 4MB), and I can now use "Millions of Colors" in Mac OS. However,
when I attempt to get into X under "DefaultColorDepth 24" (or 32, or
16, or 8, etc) it sais "Invalid Modes".

I am using the following BootX arguments: video=atyfb:vmode:17

What do I need to change to acheive 32bpp?

Here is my XF86Config, if it helps at all:
