I had(=have) a similar problem with my 3D Labs Permedia II graphics card.
What I was told in the end is that this is a bug in XFree version 3.3.xx
and would probably be fixed in the next major update of XFree which should
be out sometime this winter. In my oppinion, IDL should add support for
16-bit color depth. That seems to me a very good compromise between speed
and available colors.
