640x400 with 8bpp
I need only 16 Colors, so why should i use Modes like Truecolor (24 Bit)
or HiColor (15/16 Bit).
I only wanted to know, why the KGI Driver for the cl5464 has no problems
to change the colorpalette via ioctl(fb_descriptor, FBIOPUTCMAP,
color_map) and why the KGI Driver for the ATI Mach64 Driver HAS problems
to do it, both are working at the same mode, and i used the same program,
from which i extracted the code snippets showed in my mail above.
