 In your /etc/X11/XF86Config file, insert:

DefaultColorDepth 16

 into the top of the Screen section for the driver you use.

Not sure where the problem is, that's neither xdm or gdm specific. It's
configured in /etc/X11/XF86Config in 

Section Screen
Driver foo
Device bar
Monitor yes
DefaultColorDepth 16 
.
.
.
End Section

Note: You may have more than one screen section (driver svga, vga, accel).
