Sadly, this is not the case. Xnest (at least in XF4) only gives you
the visuals the underlying X server supplies.
So, you can get Xnest to do 8bpp on a TrueColor X server only if the X
server supplies *both* visuals (8bpp and 24/32bpp) at the same time.
And there seems to be only one X server that does this: the one for
Matrox cards (G400 only I think... pretty certainly no chips older
than G200/400).
