A cg6 (aka. GX) is an 8-bit framebuffer. There are four variations of the card, but all are 8-bit only. Also, you mentioned trying 16-bit... there are no 16-bit sbus framebuffers as far as I know... and none supported at least. All are either 8-bit or 8 and 24-bit. Unless you have the rare SS10SX (which has an onboard cg14 and you just need to add the VSIMM for it's video memory, etc.), your only 24-bit video option for it would be a Leo/ZX framebuffer... and those cost a pretty penny.
