obvious thing, but i can't figure out how to make it work.
8 bit on 24/32bit support hasn't been written yet.
8bit on X has an extra feature which made it difficult to produce a good
solution on some hardware, but we now think we have a good solution for
24bit cards which currently support "DirectColor" visuals (most recent and current hardware).
I've started looking at implementing this, but can;t promise when
it will be ready; I'm a volounteer, and work and life take priority.
In the mean time, you could look at the 8 over 24 overlay support that's available in some drivers like the g400...there might be others.
