Hi Joseph,

This sounds like the common problem with color-hungry applications
and 8-bit displays. You need to increase the color depth to 16-bit
or more, look in the X server config file. Note that, depending on
how much memory your graphics adapter has, you may also need to
change the screen resolution.
