Hi everybody, 

I’ve bought an old touchscreen display which can only show 8bit Colors. 

Does anybody know, how to change this in Linux? I tried to Google, but the answers I get where quit poor. 

it would be great, if some can help me to solve the problem :)

Can't really help much. I imagine you already found: unix.stackexchange.com/questions/287695/...n-linux-in-256-color

Thanks for your input. I tried to configure the xorg.conf file, but it does not work. The system starts always without the GUI. The only way is to delete the xorg.conf file and start the GUI again.
I tried something like this:
Section "Screen"
Identifier    "Default Screen"
Monitor        "Configured Monitor"
Device        "Configured Video Device"
DefaultDepth    16
#Modes        "1024x768"
EndSection

well, this job is teaching the hard way through the terminal.... ;-)
