Hi,

I have a bunch of apps which require 8 bit color depth. They won't run
if the graphics card/driver don't support 8 bit color depth. They run
fine on my old server but don't run on the new server. Here is the
output from my xdpyinfo command. Is it possible to do some
configuration to support 8 bit color depths? Any replies would be
highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
