So I have tried with Xephyr -screen option and the color are better for the

ar far from being ok, so is there anything I can set up on the mac to get
them better ?
For PseudoColor I used Xvnc. On OS X 10.5 I can even use the Screen
Sharing app to then control Xvnc server.
The easiest way to get Xvnc is through MacPorts:
http://www.macports.org/
Then whan you have it installed do this from the command line as an admin
user:
$ sudo port install tightvnc
Now there are tons of ways to get Xvnc to run, the easiest is with a
script like so:
#!/bin/sh
opts='-cc 3 -depth 8 -geometry 1280x960 -localhost -tst -nolisten tcp'
dpy=':9'
case "$1" in
"-kill")
vncserver -kill :9
exit
;;
esac
vncserver $dpy $opts "$@" || exit
open 'vnc://localhost:5909'
Name the script something useful like foovnc with foo being that 8-bit app
you need to run and put it in your path.
$ foovnc
This will run Xvnc with and 8-bit PseudoColor visual and then . It will
run the ~/.vnc/xstartup script when it starts. A default such script will be
created the first time you run Xvnc if I remember correctly. Also I think
a default password will be created when you do the install if I remember
correctly. If not use the vncpasswd command to create one.
$ foovnc -kill
Will stop the Xvnc session. There are creative ways to use xinit, but this
is all the simplest and most direct following the online TightVNC docs.
