The errors that you are seeing are because of the need for 8 bit color in most of those apps ( emelfm runs ok in 4 bit color , not much else )
You could try to setup Xfree86, using a conf file that uses a driver especially for your video chipset, and see if that works better than the xvesa options. ( it should )
Once you CAN get to 8 bit color, your other apps should run fine.
Chances are , you 'll need a LARGE swapfile to make this happen ( 100 MB's or more ) , otherwise, you'll run out of inodes and memory on a 40MB box long before you get XFree86 setup and installed.
If you are successful, your graphics color and speed will improve nicely.
