You could also add
DefaultColorDepth 16
to your Screen section of the XF86Config file.
Here's the relevant parts of my XF86Config:

Section "Screen"
Driver "Accel"

Monitor "Primary Monitor"
DefaultColorDepth 16
SubSection "D

It should be "startx -- -bpp 16"

I put the appropriate section below. Another way is startx -- -bpp 16.
Have a good one.
