That server uses whatever mode the Mac was left in by the Booter. It
doesn't know anything about the hardware. If you're in "thousands of
colors" when you run the Booter, or if you set the Booter to switch to
65,536 colors, you'll get 16-bit True Color (which is static color).
If your Mac can't do 16-bit color, you're out of luck.

You were looking for a programming project, weren't you...?

"xfree4" builds and runs fine on mac68k, but no X server! It would be
easy enough to drop Ken Nakata's server into the "xfree84"
directories, but it would be way cooler to make it a loadable module
to the "XFree86" new-style server. Then, real support for the hardware
found on different Macs could be added bit-by-bit.
