Hello!

I think you just gave the answer to yourself.
Doom only runs in 256-color mode not in 64.000 or 16.5 mio.
So just switch your X to this mode and Doom will run fine.

The easiest way to switch the screen-mode is by the graphical config-util that comes with X.
You can start it e.g. from the menue you get with "/stand/sysinstall".
