X and Fluxbox :: Intel 810 color issues

On my i810 card, I am having issues with the color rendering. It looks like I'm in 4 or 8 bit mode, but I have gotten these results with both 16 and 32 bit modes at 1024x768. I'm using XVesa. Any ideas?

I found another person with a similar problem here.

Also, I am using DSL 0.5.2 (didn't feel the need to upgrade to 0.5.3.1)

Mode 800x600x16bit works fine

my intel 810 compaq presario, 1024by768 will show ALL the wrong colors, at every colour depth. but 800by600 is ok for all depths.
