Open XF86Config (/etc/X11/XF86Config) in any text editor. Somewhere near the
bottom of the file, there is a Screen section. In the subsection "Display"
select the block with depth 16. It will be something like this :
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Put Modes "800x600" in place of 640x480 . To comment out the virtual
desktop, put a # in front of the line.
like
#Virtual 1024 768
This will comment out the virtual section.
You should comment out all other screen sections except the one you want. XFree86 normally chooses highest resolution in lowest bit depth by default.
