[ltp] missing colors under X on TP X40

My Thinkpad X40 seems set up to use fewer colors than expected on X.
In particular, it doesn't display pastel colors well.  This is a real
problem for applications like gnucash, where all the striping is just lost.
I'm using the Xorg X server with the i810 driver and a default
depth of 24 bits per pixel.  Is this problem just inherent to the X40
hardware, and if not, what driver settings should I try?
