Hello.

	I normally run my X server at 32 bpp, and Quake2 looks strange and
greenish at this color depth. So, I'd like to be able to Ctr-Alt-F1 to my
first virtual terminal, startx a new 8 bpp X server, and run quake. When I
try this, the following is reported:

PigStuy# startx -- :1

_XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running

Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running

When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages

^Cxinit:  unexpected signal 2
PigStuy# exit

How can I run this program that needs an 8 bit display and keep my nice 32
bpp display? Thanks.
