When I execute startx, one line says:

(**) SVGA: Using 8 bpp, Depth 8, Color weight: 666

How do I make it use 16 bpp?

Thanks.

        DefaultColorDepth 16
or
        DefaultColorDepth 32

    startx -- -bpp 16

If that doesn't work, use XF86Setup (or xf86config, etc.) and make sure
16bpp is actually specified (along with any others you might want to
use).

All the best,
