I don't think all of the information is out on this problem. What were the problem XF86Config settings? Can you redirect the XFree86 server's output to a file and tell us what probed values the server came up with? High/Low color is a video memory mapping issue, and screen resolution is a combination of video memory and modelines. Do we all understand what the server does and how it works, and therefore what to tinker with when it's broke? I'll admit, Creative Labs has some of the ugliest non-disclosure terms, so XFree support for them will probably always be crappy, but you should be able to get all VESA modes that will fit into your video RAM to work...
