e.g. in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:


Section "Screen"
       Identifier "Screen0"
       Device     "Card0"
       Monitor    "Dell20"
       DefaultDepth 16
       SubSection "Display"
               Depth     16
               Modes     "1600x1200"
       EndSubSection
EndSection


Note the DefaultDepth and Depth lines.

Cheers,
