I think all you have to do is change the depth in your Screen section, in the XF86Config file, or whatever it is called in your version. There might be some attribute named DefaultDepth, which you must set to 8, instead of 16 or 24 as it would probably be now. If there is no default depth, there will probably be some Depth attributes, one for each depth, and I guess you would just have to comment all those subsections not including Depth 8.
I'm not an expert though, one of those might provide a better answer.
