look at XFree86(1) man page, i'm not sure on the details but i'm sure
it's there. after quick look, i noticed there's a -bpp flag that sounds
like it's what you want.

from dpkg description of netscape package:
Netscape Communications Corporation does not allow redistribution of
their software. Therefore, this package requires the user to fetch
the netscape archive separately and place it in the directory pointed
to by the TMPDIR environment variable (or /tmp if TMPDIR not defined)
before attempting to install this package. You can get the linux
package via anonymous ftp from "ftp.netscape.com" under the
directory "/pub/communicator". The archive must be readable and
owned by root before it can be installed.

look at Xserver(1x) man page and search for screen-saver, there's a few
options...
