You mean bpp ? You can force a specific bpp in XF86Config for a certain
mode. See the X server manuals for your specific C server for values.
There is a good FAQ at Xfree86.org that answers this and other questions.

For instant play try:

xinit -- -bpp <how_many>

with how_many == 15,16,24,32 depending on your hardware.
