I need a lttle clarification here, please.  You are running a kernel
with either the video LKM or the SLOTMAN patches on a Centris 610
without a NuBus video card, and the internal video mode set to 8-bit
mode, right?  And if you run the color X server (Colin's, I presume),
it gives you the shades of pink and yellow?

Um, if that's the case, both the video LKM and the SLOTMAN seem to be
trying to handle the internal video which they aren't intended to!  If
what I think is happening is happening, I'd say it's a bug in the
video LKM and the SLOTMAN.  The symptom you're describing indicates
that grf driver attached to your /dev/grf0 doesn't return an error
when the X server tries to change the video mode.
