If anyone can suggest how this is done with the X.Org implementation in
OpenSolaris I'd love to hear any pointers.

Currently Xorg and xdpyinfo state :

No where in there is ye old 8 bit PseudoColor visual. Why would there be
right? Well, for reasons of my own related to some old old software I need
a 8-bit visual. Can I boot snv_138 and bring up X with -depth 8 capability
or add it to the Xorg conf file?
