that's correct. Vis-EG only supports 8-bit color.
We could get 24-bit color if we could get FX-E cards working but
they suffer the same lack of support as FX-[246] cards.
I've switched to using "TrueColor" until Xf86 "render" module
stops hogging most of the colormap. Regular text modes are fine.
Image quality does suffer though.
BTW, Vis-EG on C3k does support 1600x1200 if you multi-sync monitor
can handle it. Most LCD displays can not.

This is an old problem. First mention of it was several years ago.
More recently (Sept 2002) there's a whole thread on it starting with:
http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2002-September/017724.html
Work around is to switch to VT1 (ctl-alt-F1) and then back to the
FB VT (ctl-alt-F2 in my case).
