Hmm:

# From XF86Config
Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Screen 1"
    Device      "NVIDIA GeForce"
    Monitor     "My Monitor"
    DefaultDepth 16 # <-----
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes       "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection
EndSection

has always worked for me.  Am I missing something?
