Should you find yourself using a 16bpp display while also using a compositor, you poor soul, you may find that your GLX applications behave strangely; in particular, glxgears will be transparent. This is because it clears to (0,0,0,0) which is transparent if you honor alpha, and it will choose the synthetic visual because it has the most available r/g/b bits. To avoid this, bump synthetic visuals to a higher (less-preferred) select group. Unless the client explicitly asks for non-zero alpha bits, this will prefer any rgb565 visual ahead of the argb8888 visual.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
