For what it's worth, I had a similar problem.
First, I think you need the vertical and horizontal frequencies in the 
Monitor section-
Mine is:
HorizSync       30.0 - 95.0
VertRefresh     50.0 - 160.0

This is specific to my kSony Trinitron MultiscanE500 - Yours will be different.
I found that the default Depth did nothing for me, so I didn't enter it.
Then, you will have to experiment with the Depth and Mode settings until 
you get one that works - this may be dependent on the video memory of your 
card.
I got mine to work with Depth 8 and Modes "1280x1024" "1024x728" and Depth 
16 and Modes "1280x1024" "1024x728"  ; my card is supposed to support 
1600x1200 and depth of 24 (I think), but what the hell, it works quite well.
Good luck,
PJ
