In vncviewer LowColourLevel changes to FullColourLevel automatically

[Sid Kapoor]

hi,

I am having a customised linux distribution installed on a thin client with
the following configuration.

AMD LX800
128MB RAM
Xorg version 7.2
The display driver that I am using is from xorg git
http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/driver/xf86-video-amd.git;a=summary

My xorg.conf file is also attached .

When I try to run vncviewer on this thin client with a "LowColourLevel 0"
option to it (that is 8 colour mode), it first of all connects to the server
in 8 colour mode, but soon after changes the mode to FullColour.  The
warnings which I get on running the vncviewer is listed below:

/.mount/root $ vncviewer -LowColourLevel 0 107.108.92.138

Any pointers to the solution of the above problem ?
