We have pseudocolor without going fullscreen. You have to use the GDI DIB-
based engine, which is engine 1. For example:
XWin -engine 1
Of course, you have to be running Windows at 8 bits per pixel to start with.
On the other hand, if you are talking about supporting multiple visual types,
that seems to be the promise of Keith Packard's Layer extension.
Unfortunately, the layer extension is as well documented as the randr (resize
and rotate) extension and the shadow extension: that is to say, not at all.
(At least it is not documented from a server implementors perspective.) I've
tried telling layer to create some new visual types but I was never
successful.
