Changing 'default visual id'

I need some help in changing the default visual id for XWindows running on a
VAX-Alpha using OSF1 V3.0

I am trying to solve a problem that, for the lack of a better name, we are
calling "Color Flashing." I am using IDL, from RSI (Research Systems, Inc.) to
display false color images from synthetic apperature radar satellite. When we
use a grey-scale CLUT the image displays properly and everything behaves, but if
we use a PseudoColor CLUT the image displays in grey until I move the cursor
over the image, and the colors for the _entire_ display jump to the new mapping.
This only occurs on the system console display, and does not effect remote
X_servers running on various other platforms I have access to.

Currently the default visual id, 0x28, (displayed by 'xdpyinfo') maps to a
visual class that is TrueColor. According to RSI's tech support, I need to
change it to a PseudoColor class.
