What exactly are you asking?  Assuming you are using an LVDS panel why
are you using a refresh rate of 50 Hz?  Also, depth 24 is probably
what you want.  The radeon driver does not support depth 32.
Internally the hardware uses 4 bytes per pixel (32 bits) for depth 24,
so perhaps that is what is confusing you.
