If you're not afraid of a text editor, try (as root) editing
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 using gedit, vi, pico, or whatever. Find the line
which has either Depth or DefaultDepth. It may be 24 or 32. Change the
number to 8 and you're set.

Alternatively, rerun xconfigurator - however this may change other
settings which may be undesirable in the end. It is, however, "easier".
