Try changing the last section to:

Section "Screen"
       Identifier "Screen0"
       Device     "Videocard0"
       DefaultDepth     24
       SubSection "Display"
               Viewport   0 0
               Depth     24
       EndSubSection
       SubSection "Display"
               Viewport   0 0
               Depth     16
       EndSubSection
       SubSection "Display"
               Viewport   0 0
               Depth     8
       EndSubSection
EndSection

That should I believe then allow X to swithc to 8 or 16 bit colour mode
if an application requests it.

1, 4 and 15 bit depth aren't used very often but if you want to be
really complete add those too.
