Or add the appropriate DefaultColorDepth to your /etc/X11/XF86Config (or
wherever it happens to be on your system) which becomes more convenient
as time goes on.

ophelia:~$ grep -A 4 -B 4 DefaultColorDepth /etc/X11/XF86Config
Section "Screen"
    Driver      "accel"
    Device      "3DLabs Permedia2"
    Monitor     "Mitsubishi DP 71"
    DefaultColorDepth 32
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       8
        Modes       "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024"
        ViewPort    0 0
