Hi Sunnan,

I haven't tried it myself, but there's supposed to be a way to do this
by starting up with (and I quote):

	xinit ... -bpp 8
and
	xinit ... -bpp 16

...if your XF86 configuration files are set up properly.  This would let
you Alt-F7 and Alt-F8 toggle between the two servers.

Beyond that, I don't know what's involved.  This is third-hand 
information. :-)

Take care,

Andrew.
