>i have a 16 gray scaled (4bpp) TFT VGA LCD connected with an ARM 9
processor. everything works fine on the hardware side but i got a
headache when i tried to load and display the x-win in the LCD. so, does
x-win supports 4bpp? 

Indirectly it will support any format by writing a shadowfb driver.
Directly it supports a fair range including 4bpp StaticGray and
GrayScale which sounds like what you are describing. (4bit packed pixel)

The frame buffer mode driver does not however support 4bpp modes at the
moment.
