I'm running Red Hat Linux 7.3 (kernel 2.4.18-3) with XFree86 4.3.  My video adapter is a C&T 69030 and I'm using the "chips" driver.  For some reason, all of my DirectColor visuals display in some weird technicolor.  Blue displays as pink, green displays as light blue, etc.  The only colors that are correct are black and white.  Furthermore, color allocation fails if I try to allocate more than 15 colors in the colormap, which is completely absurd when running at a 16-bit color depth and with minimal GUI's running (mwm plus two xterm windows).  I've even tried going to 24-bits but I get the same problems.  8-bit PseudoColor and 16- and 24-bit TrueColor work fine.  I have to port legacy application code which uses 8-bit PseudoColor to 16 and 24 bit color depths, and I need DirectColor because of the graphics involved.
 
Any help would be appreciated.
