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?
