    Can the 560 do 800x600?  

yes.

    Also, I don't know of any X servers that can
    go better than 8-bit with the LCD screens, even though under Windows 3.1
    I can do 16-bit color on my older 755CX.

i'm hoping that improvements to Xfree86 3.2 will do better than 8-bit,
since they support the 560 video chip.  right now the video seems a
bit washed out. 

i've heard that the new xinside server will do 16 bit on the 560.
