Totally a guess on my part but if the program *must* have 16 or 256
color then I'd try setting up some 256 color modes in my xorg.conf
file. If you can get that working, and you MUST test that they are
actually working in X itself first, then I'd try rerunning the program
in Wine and see if Wine will switch to that mode while the program
runs.

Note that if the program wants a 256 color mode it probably also wants
a very low screen resolution, like 640x480. I'd start there if I was
going to play with xorg.conf.

*Maybe* some advanced Wine user will know how to do all of this in
Wine's native configuration but until I heard about that I'd go down
this path first.

Good luck,
Mark
