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
