Colormap issues with mozilla on 8-bit screen - XRENDER extension?

[Julian Gilbey <jdg@polya.uklinux.net>]

I've got an interesting problem.  I've recently upgraded my XWindows
packages and mozilla (all in unstable) from about a month ago, and now
mozilla can't get a decent set of colo(u)rs.  I'm working on an 8-bit
display :-/ and I remember Branden saying something a while back about
possible issues with the XRENDER library hogging 6x6x6=216 of the
available colo(u)rs.  Could this be part of this problem, and if so,
is there a way to disable it at runtime to test this theory?

Thanks,

   Julian
