Mark,

I don't have Mandrake 10 on my 760XD, but based on experience with the 
model and the distro, I'd suggest looking at /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

You should find a Section "Screen" like this:

---
Section "Screen"
     Identifier "screen1"
     Device "device1"
     Monitor "monitor1"
     DefaultColorDepth 16

     Subsection "Display"
         Depth 8
         Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
     EndSubsection

...(snipped for brevity)..

EndSection
---

Make sure the DefaultColorDepth is set to 16.

Good luck,
-Richard
