Only after that conversion you can compare these screenshots accurately as they would look on-screen.
Indeed, as it was already told in other thread, the Xfvdev server does not suport any intermediate between 8 bits and 1 bit (contrary to "specification" in the man page), so here iRex is doing the best possible approach: go with 8, and mod it out in the driver or in the hardware.
