I am trying to run various programs on xorg in different color depth modes.
For example, I want to run my wm in 8 bit, but I want to run browsers in 16bit.
Is this possible? Many browsers do not work or load web pages in 8 bit color depth anymore.
Unfortunately X is not Amiga - where this was possible :)
What you can do, although it's not exactly what you want, is start two X instances on the same machine. One can be 8bit, the other 16bit.
