If you want to know the colordepth of your display, type "xwininfo"
(withouth the quotes) at an xterm an when asked to select a window
click in the root window, the background. It will then give you the
desired information.
To startx the X server at 16 bpp, e.g., do the following:
startx -- -bpp 16
But I suggest you to put this information in the /etc/X11/XF86Config
file. Add the line
DefaultColorDepth 16
to this file in the "Screen" section.
