I've heard that you can start up different X servers (at different depths)
on seperate virtual consoles (granted enough swap space, OC). It seems
that the X protocol has no provisions for switching depths on the fly.

Has anyone actually done this -- for example running both 8 and 16 bpp at
once? This would make a good Howto / FAQ file, IMO !
