There is a difference between resolution and color depth. To change
resolution (pixels x pixels), use Ctrl-Alt-<NumPad +> and Ctrl-Alt-<NumPad ->
To change color depth, you'll have to exit X and add a flag to your startx
command. Something like this should work:
startx -- -bpp 16
or
startx -- -bpp 24
