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.
