I notice that you are using Voodoo3/Banshee (my condoleanses, I suffer
from the same). The Voodoo driver from DRI (which you are using, since
you use XF86 4.0.2) only supports 16 bit colours. No more, no less. I
believe you have your X configured for 8 bit colour. If you want to, I
can email you my XF86Config file, which is configured to use a Voodoo 3,
16 bit colour, 3D accelleration in X and resolutions from 640x480 to
1280x1024.
