Just a guess:  kill X

startx -- -bpp 16

Most X servers still start in 8 bpp (256 colors) unless configured or
commanded otherwise.  I think hicolor is 65536 colors or 16 bpp.  _I_
can't see the difference, but maybe HL thinks you can.

If you use an X runlevel and/or [k|x|g]dm it isn't quite that simple,
but I don't want to get into that without further provocation.
