Indeed, all X server settings are in /etc/X11R6/XF86Config

There should be a DefaultColorDepth option in it somewhere, try setting
that to '16', also, you can start the xserver with the -depth option.
that's useful if you want to test out a color depth prior to committing
it to XF86Config.

One more thing of note, I read in the XF86Config man page that some clients
have trouble with '24' and switching to '32' would fix that, perhaps you 
should try that first.

I'm surprised by this, I thought Red Hat was really good at supporting
everything that Linux can support. Especially something like a soundcard
which usually dosen't need anything outside of the kernel driver to
be specific to it.
