One alternative to overcoming this 16bpp issue is simply to use
Xvnc. I don't know why the public instructions only refer to Xnest
(and Xephyr) but in practise, I've found VNC works like a breeze.
Anyone wanting more information as to how to set it up, please ask. :)

runs at 16. Can we do this ?
Hello Olivier,
inside sbox:
fakeroot apt-get install xserver-xephyr
(there seems to be some part inside the package that requires "root")
then start it with Xephyr -screen 800x480x16 -ac :2
This _should_ work, but at least for me it didn't :-). X ephyr is a
Kdrive
based X server that supports the modern X extensions and acts as a
client to
existing X server (similar to Xnest in this respect). It can
provide a 16bpp
screen to it's clients while it will use 24bpp itself (in your case).
Anyhow, also check the bugzilla, I remember seeing smt about this
there.
As for your question, maemo cannot currently run at 16bpp as there
seem to be
some hard fixed assumptions. OTOH, the target device (770) is 16-
bit, so
there might not be much sense other than testing your application
reliability
against env changes.
ak.
