I think it could and probably would.

Yes I do think yours might. I think you should read about HorizSync &
VertRefresh in the xorg.conf man page again. While you are there, read about
PreferredMode. If you insist on using an xorg.conf file, then express  HorizSync
and VertRefresh as ranges instead of values. e.g. instead of

	HorizSync	47.71
	VertRefresh	59.79

use

	HorizSync	45-49
	VertRefresh	58-62

or

	HorizSync	30-72
	VertRefresh	56-80

I have ATI Radeon 7500, which is about a year older than your Radeon XPRESS 200,
at least a full generation older. It works just fine @1680x1050 on Debian
Stretch 9.4 without any xorg.conf file:
