James (and the rest of the group),

I think that there is a way around this, using VNC you could start up a
seperate X server running at only 8bpp, then connect to it via the VNC
client running on your "real" X server.

Or am I a dunce, and later versions of Sun graphics hw have builtin multiple
visual classes that you just specify via -visual 0x24 or whatnot?
