Hmm, I'm doing this on a PowerBook 540c (with an upgraded processor board 
so it is a full '040.)  Unfortunatly this system can't do better than 8bpp.
I just looked at my log and found I was getting this error:


This is not a fatal error.
Couldn't set video mode to desired depth.
I gather there is no video ROM driver present for this display.
Screen 0 at 0x4259000, 640 by 480, 8 bpp, rowB 640, fbbase 0x6660000.


So it looks like you are right, I might just be stuck like this for now.

Sorry about that, I just got nmh on this box and had forgotten it.  I will
get that fixed.  Thanks for the heads up.
