One way is to have a DefaultColorDepth line.

[19:52:29 /tmp]$ grep -A2 -B4 Default  /etc/X11/XF86Config
Section "Screen"
        Driver                  "svga"
        Device                  "Alpine"
        Monitor                 "MAG DX1495"
        DefaultColorDepth       16
        StandbyTime             2
        SuspendTime             3
[19:52:41 /tmp]$

Seems to me a problem with the X config file. Can you post this file here?
