I have encounted the same problem before. 
It should be the bug of LIBGRX.  The lineoffset of Millennium 800x600
256 mode is 960 instead of 800.  LIBGRX messed up with it.

You may try the following fix for Millennium 800x600 mode:

        GrSaveContext(&w);
        if (w.gc_lineoffset == 800) {
                w.gc_lineoffset = 960;
                GrSetContext(&w);
        }
