You need to set your bits-per-pixel (bpp).  You need to have the
correct stuff in your XF86Config.  If you use the xf86config then you
should have had the various pixel depths created for you.  To start
the XFree server in a different pixel depth you need to use the -bpp
command line option.  I would guess that you would need "-bpp 24" to
get "true colour" but with a 2Meg card your choices of display
resolutions will be quite limited and you will probably find the speed
will be much much slower.

Having a surf around <http://www.xfree86.org> could be benificial
since this is not really a -current problem.
