I don't know how 16bpp should make things different. As I said, if the user does not specify any resolution in /etc/X11/xorg.conf then 1024x768 is used, regardless of the screen depth. The Problem Alexey reported is that his guest window is four times as large as the host screen. Which was true for previous versions of VBox (they didn't have that 1024x768 default video mode).
