In your XF86Config file under Section screen add DefaultColorDepth 16 just
like the Monitor or BlankTime entry except there are no paren's around
numbers in this file.
example:
Section "Screen"
Driver "svga"
DefaultColorDepth 16
BlankTime 45
Make sure you don't remove the 8 bit depth section. It has to be there
even if it's not used for fallback and X_Server will let you know it.
