At the moment, getting more VRAM or using a smaller resolution is the only
solution.  We don't have colormap changing support for internal video yet,
so the X server doesn't handle 8-bit CLUT type displays on internal video.
This is explained quite clearly in the README for the OSFA X server.

BTW, the reason why the colors are so psychedelic is that the X server is
simply using whatever color map was leftover from MacOS since it has no
way of changing the color map itself.

I hope this helps.

Later.
