I used the setvideo binary to change the resolution just before
starting X. I have a shell script wrapper arround startx which sets the
resolution I want for X before running the real startx. My system is
booted with a 640x480 8bpp console.
IIRC the -c option to setvideo sets the colour depth. Either check the
man page or drop me a mail and I'll look at my script. I don't have
access to the machine to check it now.
