Hi Saurabh,

If you use graphical log-in namely the Gnome Display Manager (GDM) 
then you can try this (You must be root)

Open the /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf file using your favorite editor.

Locate the line containing 
[servers]
0=/usr/bin/X11/X

add -bpp N (where N could be 8, 16, 24, 32) like so...

[servers]
0=/usr/bin/X11/X -bpp 16

Save the file, reboot and you should have the desired depth when you
log-in next.

Enjoy,
Sabir
