The 16-bpp Falcon mode should be chunky and work.
That's video=atafb:falh16 ?
No, that's a 4bpp mode.
From my reading of drivers/video/atafb.c there are
no 16bpp modes?
There is a 16 bpp mode - look for 'hicolor' in the source. From my
understanding,
it has all been wired up right (to be honest, I did only rewrite the
fbcon interface
for 2.6 onwards, and touched as little of the business end of the driver
as possible).
The driver detects hicolor mode from bit 8 of f_shift:
else if (hw->f_shift & 0x100) /* hicolor */
var->bits_per_pixel = 16;
and uses the generic packed pixel cfb interface to draw characters to
the screen in this case.
Thanks for the hint, Geert - I would have claimed there's only mono and
interleaved planes otherwise.
Nothing like a trip down memory lane - I had totally forgotten that I
wrote Mac fbcon drivers back in the days.
I feel I should give the hicolor mode a test to see whether it does
actually work after all this time.
Cheers,
Michael
