Ahh, well, I never used FC1, so I may be of limited help here...

But try to set DefaultDepth to 16 in Section "Screen" in the xfree86 config file:

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device     "Videocard0"
	Monitor    "Monitor0"
	DefaultDepth     16

Maybe this helps ...
What is your color-depth in windoze ?

Cheers,
