This might lead you to a solution: Edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf, in the [server-Chooser] section (at the bottom) change to "flexible=true". Then create a new XServer config for the chooser such as (customize to needs): [server-8BitColor] name=Legacy-Apps Server command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -audit 0 -depth 8 -display=:10 flexible=true Save and then run gdmflexiserver and it'll pop up a chooser dialog where you can select your "server-8BitColor" X Server.
