Which version of XFree86 are you using ? In 4.2 the RENDER extension uses most of the colours in 8bit mode; you can disable it at compile time. I think I've seen a config option which disables the Render extension at run time in 4.3, but now the extension isn't quite as greedy, so there is less need for it. -- Dr. Andrew C.
