I am trying to run lyx-1.0.3 on RedHat 5.2

I get the following error:

In flvisual.c[217]: Can't find an appropriate visual

I am running VNC server on the same linux machine using a
 TrueColor visual and 8 bit color depth.  I need to run with
 8 bit color (as opposed to 16 or greater) in order to support
 some legacy software.

I tried using the following command line option (to no avail):

 lyx -depth 8 -visual TrueColor

Is there any way to get lyx to run with my display?
