Pavel,

As suspected, your X server has a default visual of True color/24 bits:
>  default visual id:  0x22
>  visual:
>    visual id:    0x22
>    class:    TrueColor
>    depth:    24 planes
>    available colormap entries:    256 per subfield
>    red, green, blue masks:    0xff0000, 0xff00, 0xff
>    significant bits in color specification:    8 bits


You need to set up your server to use an 7 bit default visual.
Seee the man page for X (Xsun) and if necessary, use the "defdepth 8"
addition to the Xservers configuration I mentioned previously.
