Gavin,
you havn't mentioned the log file, which will likely tell you whats wrong.
If changing DefaultDepth to 16 doesn't work, can you upload the log
somewhere and post us the URL?   usually:  /var/log/Xorg.0.log

that too should be in the log file. If it's less than 4MB, you definitely
need to reduce the pixel depth.
