Adding the line
DefaultColorDepth 16
(or whatever depth you want) to your XF86Config file does the trick. It's
int the docs somewhere, but I got this from this list a while back.
excerpt from my own XF86Config:
# The accelerated servers (S3, Mach32, Mach8, 8514, P9000, AGX, W32, Mach64)
Section "Screen"
Driver "accel"
Device "ATI 3D Charger"
Monitor "Bridge 17 inch OSD"
DefaultColorDepth 24
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "1280x1024"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Hope this helps
