Hi Ashish, I'm afraid that the Cairo link you refer to is missing an "l", and doesn't seem to refer to a "thread" but to a copy of your request to the Cairo mailing list requesting help getting 8-bit TrueColor working.
Can you explain why you want 8-bit TrueColor rather than a higher bpp TrueColor mode, or than 8-bit PseudoColor?
