X server and pseudo-color

[Mark Tucker <tuckerm@mail.lsc.vsc.edu>]

I've got some slink systems running at 1024x768 at 24bpp.  Several of the apps
that need to run on these systems require exactly 8bit color and refuse to run
if the display is set to anything other than 8bpp.  I still need the high color
(16 or 24 bpp) for other work which must be done concurrently.  How do I define
pseudo-colors for the current display?  Yes, I've done some reading of the
docs and searched dejanews, so far without results.  The graphics cards have 4mb
video RAM which should be enough for this task. 

Thanks.
