Strange 8bit X display Problem

Hello, Tried using 8bit color under X using -depth 8. Appears to be 8bit but xgrasp acts strange. In SuSE 6.3 under 8bit color running xgrasp moving the mouse focus to the program window corrected the color in xgrasp. Now under SuSE 7.1 there appears no way to have xgrasp (which requires 8bit display) display color correctly. Is there some additional display option which needs to be set. Thanks, Terry Eck tleck@mindspring.com
