The RandR extension, which is currently worked on, will implement a clean way
for this, which will enable XFree86 to change resolution and bit-depth on the
fly without the need to restart the X-server.
If you want more info about this to a search with google or look up
www.xfree86.org. Furthermore I am sure on this mailing-list are people who do
actively contribute to this extension getting implemented.
Apart from this you can already do dynamic resolution-changes (actually only
the video-mode changes, the resolution of the desktop doesn't change) with
the XF86VidMode extension. But this is only really practical for single
applications, e.g. games, screensavers or other programs needing fullscreen
contexts.
