tlug: X colormaps

[Scott Stone <sstone@example.com>]

Are colormaps and colormap structures in X at all useful in bit depths
greater than 8?  Ie, if I have a program that I'd like to be able to run
under X and do neat things like pallette fades/color cycling/etc, can I do
that in 16/24/32bpp or must I use 8bpp?
