openwin color depth config question

I'm running as 1.8 on sparc (solaris 2.8)--I don't have root perms, so I
had to install and point to a different path for the program install, but
I got everything (i think ) installed and running--
However, I can't get as to start at anything greater than 8bpp...I remember
back in the day when I had as installed on Linux, that you could force the
Xserver to start at other color depths when doing xinit
--(colordepth)...But I'm having to go through openwin (I don't think that I
have any other options...) so I was wondering this dumn question: how can
I force openwin to open in > 8bpp?
I can run fvwm95 and get .jpeg backgrounds in full colordepth, so I'm
assuming that I should be able to get greater colordepths (and I can get
a picture viewer up to view jpeg, etc...) OTOH, the docs on Xsun don't
really say--they just say that Xsun24 supports 24bpp...But since anything
but CDE is unsupported officially, I haven't really been able to find
from our IT guys. Also, I noticed a little file called 24to8 in the
X/bin directory, so mebbe I'm just being spoofed anyways.
Anyway, to cut off this long story, is there a switch to force the
colordepth, or am I SOL?
TIA,
fred
