OK here is the whole thing from my machine...
make sure you have a subsection for any depths you
want and then you need to add the "DefaultColorDepth" line
otherwise the "X" server will default to 8 bits
(you must have a subsection for the depth you specify for this to
work) When you start X you can choose the bits-per-pixel
'startx -bpp 16' and it will use the monitor entry from
the XF86Config file,
