do you mean support for running the framebuffer itself in 8bit mode?
or do you mean some kinda fancy FFB-quirky support for 8bit visuals
when the framebuffer is in 24bit mode, like so that xfishtank will
work for example?  (from DESCR it looks like xfishtank is fixed now,
but a few years ago it used to be simply impossible to run xfishtank
unless your framebuffer was running in 8bit mode)
