Thanks to all who responded, here are the results for those who may be
interested:
*Xnest won't run at a different colour depth to the host server
*vnc isn't quite the solution because I still need an xserver running
at different colour depth to play on
The winner was Steven's short but to the point 'startx -- -depth 16 :1'
I did forget to mention that the game was ale-clone. I went off and
got the new version (freecraft) which just kept crashing on me. I then
grabbed egoboo, which insisted on running at .02 frame per second. So
much for my big night of Linux gaming. Looks like we have a little way
to go before Linux becomes the dominant games machine. :(
I agree that patching the game was the best choice (in this case
getting the new version), but that xserver thing was something I had
really wanted to know for some time now, so thanks all who responded.
