Problem with X11 and transparency

This is a discussion about Problem with X11 and transparency in the Everything Linux category; I'm running clark connect 2. 0 (A minimal red-hat gateway dist) on an old pentium. I shoved X 4. 3. 0, opera and rdesktop on it to use it as a thinnish client. Unfortunatly for some reason when I start X the background is either red bars if it's in 16 bit colour, or green bars for 24bit.

Unfortunatly for some reason when I start X the background is either red bars if it's in 16 bit colour, or green bars for 24bit. These bars somehow show through some shades, so random colours seem to have bars going through them. Very annoying.
 
I'm using blackbox with a Matrox Millenium. Seems to happen in either the mga driver or the vesa driver. Can someone help me get back the nice default non-show-through black and white X background?
