I guess this was it I can no longer use kitty, after the lastest version kitty is explicity requiring sRGB color encoding. My poor old video card doesn't have sRGB support, I'm fairly certain even before this change the colors was displayed incorrectly. Not that I cared that much about sRGB ever.
It's just another thing that I can't use in this old system, at least I have xterm that I used as a backup terminal emulator up until now that was also a requirement to have for my window manager xmonad.
Not that I don't like to xterm but I really liked kitty, plus it was the only GPU accelerated terminal emulator that I was able to use.
