Configure X Server for Debian on Dell Inspiron 4000

,

After installation, the screen display doesn't work. After reading tons of materials online and tried several configuration, the following works:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

In Section "Device", change driver from "ati" to "r128".

In Section "Monitor", add

  HorizSync 30-60
  VertRefresh 60-90

In Section "Screen", change DefaultDepth from 24 to 16. And

  SubSection "Display"
        Depth 16
        Modes "1024x768"
  EndSubSection

I may need to find a solution to make depth as 24.
