Subject:   running 8-bit depth in a 32-bit display

Hello,

I've recently rediscovered the joy of Doom (yes, work *is* slow).  My
only complaint is, I have to exit X and restart in 8-bit depth to play.

I know you can't dynamically change color depth in X.  Can you somehow
run an app expecting only 8-bit depth in a 32-bit display?  Doom and
the SimCity demo both require 8 bit displays.

Thanks,
Michael
