In ur /etc/X11/XF86Config in Screen section (where all modes
are listed with each color depth) add line
DefaultColorDepth 16
Snipet from my XF86Config
Section "Screen"
Driver "svga"
# Use Device "Generic VGA" for Standard VGA 320x200x256
#Device "Generic VGA"
Device "Cirrus Logic GD544x"
Monitor "My Monitor"
DefaultColorDepth 16 <-- not this line
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
# Omit the Modes line for the "Generic VGA" device
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
"640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
# Use Virtual 320 200 for Generic VGA
#Virtual 1600 1200
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
"640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
#Virtual 1152 900
