You have to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config.

>From my XF86config

# The Colour SVGA server

Section "Screen"
    Driver      "svga"
    # Use Device "Generic VGA" for Standard VGA 320x200x256
    #Device      "Generic VGA"
    Device      "Voodoo3 (generic)"
    Monitor     "My Monitor"
    DefaultColorDepth 32  <-- You have to add this line.
    Subsection "Display"

You can change the number to 8, 16, 24, 32.
