I'm currently running an application whose developers stubbornly support
only 8-bit pseudocolor visuals.  I have success to run the application
in 8 bpp mode, but am not happy with the color-flashing side effects.  I
understand there's a way to run an Xserver in 24bpp depth with an 8bpp
overlay if you're lucky enough to have the right graphics card and
drivers to support it.  My question is this:  Can anyone suggest a
graphics card and driver combo that supports 24bpp with 8bpp overlays
and works under linux  (ie, xfree86) for the x86 platform?  If this
exists, can someone also refer me to the appropriate XF86config file to
set this up?

Many thanks in advance,

Tim
