I've had overlay working on a G450 or a G400, but don't have the
cards anymore, and can't remember the details of what was needed
on which card. This is a standard feature of the XFree86 mga driver,
so shouldn't be a problem.

How did you test that you had 8bit only ?
One problem is that in 8+24 overlay, the default visual is 8bit
pseudocolor, unless you use something like "X -cc 5" or the
equivalent in the config file.
