John, There's no such thing as "full colour mode" in X - that's a VNC Viewer option. Are you sure you're not doing the exact opposite of what I'm suggesting?
To clarify: - Run your X server with -depth 16 - Run your VNC Viewer with Low Colour or Medium Colour (not Full Colour) I'm a little surprised that your viewer doesn't just stay in low colour mode when you run it - AutoSelect will only switch to Full Colour if it thinks that the connection between the viewer and server is fast enough, which it evidently isn't in this case.
