In my experience, zgv also works much better when your graphics card
only does a few colors. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a
version of zgv that works in X?

Lee, what is your current resolution/color setting? If you use startx,
please post your /etc/Xconfig. Otherwise post the settings you pass to
Xvesa. Also useful would be the output of "Xvesa -listmodes".

You can get quite good output from xli with 640x480x12 or better.
