XFree86 supports this only when the graphics hardware (and drivers)
support simultaneous display of TrueColor and PseudoColor visuals.
There aren't many PC graphics cards that support this. Some NVIDIA
Quadros will using NVIDIA's binary drivers. Some Matrox cards
support this too. Maybe some others, but the list is short.
