FVWM: 8-bit graphics mode

It seems my AGP port stopped worked.
So now I sit with an old S3 card I found in a drawer in the
sysadmin's room at work.
The card has only 1 MB VRAM. So I tried to run 1024x768 in 8-bit mode.
But colours in FVWM is screwed up (white is blue). Does it depend on the
X-server? (The test provided by Xconfigurator (Redhat) seems quite OK).

I use FvwmBacker to show backround XPMs, but should FVWM allocate it's
colourmap before, since FvwmBacker is started from FVWM?

Or do I need to tell FVWM to use more colours?
What I find is the command line option -l.
It says in the manpage it uses colourcubes, doesn't this mean pure white
should be available.
