Your first problem? Maybe you aren't saving before you exit the user
manager program. To start X after logging in? Add an entry in the
.bashrc or .bash_profile (sorry can't remember which) file in the home
directory of the user. Add at the end of the file;
startx -- -bpp 16
if you want to start X in 16 bit colordepth mode.
(change for your own prefence)
