It took some fiddling to get it to do 800x600 @ 72Hz, but I did it. As far as the clockchips and ramdacs go, i think i went with the defaults (something like 'auto sense' or 'none' or something along those lines) and it worked. I can't remember if I got > 8bpp, but I am fairly sure I did. I think I still have my old /etc/XF86Config around if you want to see it.
