Finally i managed to make XCOM work properly on old first gen SVGA graphics cards.
From now on, a random ISA graphics card in a typical 486 system should be ok to run XCOM with good color quality.

-Implemented pixel dithering in 8 bit graphics mode.
-Fixed a bug when changing to 8 bit graphics depth from a failed true color initialization attempt.
-Fixed a bug when rendering alphablended textured layers with certain colors.
