XFree86 4.2.0 does not have a way of preventing RENDER from assimilating the 8 bit color map. This is a bug which makes 8bit depth mostly useless, however the reason it won't be fixed until 4.3.0 is basically that any application that demands 8bit depth is really broken as designed, and that there is a viable workaround of using 8+24 overlay on hardware that supports it, or possibly using Xnest. If someone is direly interested in 4.2.0 getting fixed also however, and is willing to locate the fixes in CVS, backport them to 4.2.0 and test them, I can consider including them in an erratum perhaps, although it isn't a high priority for me to do personally.
