The value that is returned is a bitmap indicating all the supported depths.
The value you pass in to set a given mode is the number of bits/pixel. So
0x08 indicates that 4-bit mode is supported, while 0x04 is used to SET
4-bit/pixel mode.
I agree that this is not especially intuitive.

Subject: Re: 4 bit error on palm v
according to the reference PDF of the palm -
ScrDisplayMode - This function indicates support for 4-bit drawing
by
returning a
value of 0x08, Support for bit depths of 2 and 1 is indicated by a
return
value of
0x03.
so for some reason, when i type 4 (or 0x04) it's ok, but when i type
0x08
it's not.
and i need support for 1,2 and 4 bits.
and when i draw my bitmap, the rest of the screen goes blank.
any idea ?
i'm creating the bitmap myself.
