Can't get pseudocolor to work w/ ATI drivers

Hi all,
I've been stumped by a curious problem after upgrading to FC8 (same problem w/ FC9). I cannot get the PseudoColor visual (8 bit ) option to work! The Xorg.log (attach) reports that pseudocolor visuals are on but when I open a window and run 'xdpsyinfo' I get only the 24bit visuals (Direct and True Color).
I'm tried disabling the composite extension and the direct rendering (by switching to the 'ati' or 'vesa' drivers). I get no errors and no 8bit. I've tried disabling the 'AIGLX' option, no 8bit. I get the same behavior w/ the ATI proprietary drivers.
This used to work w/o a hitch in FC6.
Does anyone have any hints/ideas on this?
I can't find the attachment button on the page so I attach the xorg.conf file directly.
Thanks,
