Hi, Karsten:
You can specify the '-depth 1' option on your startx invocation:
$ startx -- -depth 1
...which will open a mono session. There's also a monochrome X server
(xserver-mono), which can be used to present monochrome displays.
Many applications/environments dither rather heavily when run in
monochrome mode, results may vary.
Cheers.
