If you run via startx, you can do startx -- -bpp 24
The two '-' between startx and -bpp are required.

To set this to be the default, see the "Screen" section
of your XF86Config file. The line you want in that section is:

DefaultDepth 24

Make sure there's a display subsection for the 24 bit depth
as well. The one I have is:

 Subsection "Display"
     Depth       24
     Modes       "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
     ViewPort    0 0
 EndSubsection
