Found the reason for the problem and a solution. For some reason the
number of colors P9 is using in vmware is not independant of the
number of colors the Xwindows are running with (with windows or linux
as host I think you can use any number of colors which is under the
number of colors of the guest, so this seems to be a bug). It works
well if I run the Xwindows with 16 bpp of depth.
