then i would add "gbuffers=16" option and check also for debugging messages from logs (activate ZM_EXTRA_DEBUG, set ZM_EXTRA_DEBUG_LEVEL to reasonable level). I had this weird lines as U has now but really dont remember what it was about .

Check the documentation with xlibshm and or xlibshm --help
There are two options for a monitors palette, I suspect you just chose the wrong one.
