Hello All! [ I'm not subscribed - please CC me ] [ ...and yes - I'm using M$ Outgluck - sorry for (potentially|most likely) broken formating ] I have a question about use of FBDev X Server. Or driver. This man page http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.1/fbdev.4.html states that this driver supports depths starting from 8bpp. 8bpp is too _high_ limit for me. Where from this limitation comes? Is this limitation of a FBDev driver? Or this comes from applications? The problem is that we have a chip which supports only 16 colours - 4bpp pseudo colour mode. And we really do not need more in our app. My idea was to try to write frame buffer driver for this chip and use XFree86/FBDev on top of it. So - Is it possible to use XFree86/FBDev with just 16 colours? What kind of problems I can meet then? --- Regards&Wishes!
