    Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Radeon"
        Device "Radeon"
        Monitor "Envision"
        DefaultColorDepth 24
        Subsection "Display"
                Depth 16
                Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
                ViewPort 0 0
        EndSubsection
        Subsection "Display"
                Depth 24
                Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
                ViewPort 0 0
        EndSubsection
    EndSection

    See the DefaultColorDepth line? That determines the depth. If it's
    missing, I believe it defaults to 8.
