Interesting, because thts exactly what I do and it works for me. I
never had a problem with colour depth if I set the DefaultDepth to 24
(or 16 or whatever) but I used to take out the other entries to ensure it
would only use that one. i.e. mine now looks like:

Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Screen 1"
    Device      "Matrox Mystique"
    Monitor     "Gateway EV700"
    DefaultDepth 16

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       16
        Modes       "1024x768"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection

EndSection
