Chad,
The answer to your second question will also answer your first
one. The 8 refers to a screen number. This should actually be set to 0
instead of 8 for the command line arguments to have an effect on the
Xserver you start on a single headed machine. I believe the default is
8 bit if you do not specify the properties for screen 0 and that is why
you are having problems.
