I didn't see a reply to this, so I thought I'd take a stab at this. I'm running 4.1.1-release on my laptop, but I couldn't get X running on it correctly. So, I cheated, and installed Redhat Linux 6.2 for a brief spell, and the automaticly configured X file was copied over to BSD. It works fine, now. Kinda crazy, but it should all function the same. Here is the screen definition from my XF86Config file. Section "Screen" Driver "svga" Device "NeoMagic (laptop/notebook)" Monitor "LCD Panel 1024x768" DefaultColorDepth 16 Subsection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection EndSection Notice the "DefaultColorDepth 16" line. I'd never seen that before, but the configuration is acceptable to the X server, so I'm not complaining at all. I think that is the solution you were looking for.
