Liberty - god forbid of all the apps to run on 4.0 :) runs ok :P
it does a simple switch into 2bpp, and it looks sweet and dandy to me.
sounds like its a problem with something else in your app :(( or it
could a bug specific to the rom you are using.

// only OS 3.0 and above have > 1bpp display via API's
if (DeviceSupportsVersion(romVersion3)) {
UInt32 depth = 2;
// save the current display state
WinScreenMode(winScreenModeGet,NULL,NULL,&globals->depthState,NULL);
// change into 2bpp display mode
WinScreenMode(winScreenModeSet,NULL,NULL,&depth,NULL);
}

now.. looks like you are still using pre-3.5 headers :)) tut tut..
time to upgrade boris!! :P
i tested this on the following rom images:
PalmOS40dr3-efigs-colordbg.rom
PalmOS40dr3-jp-colordbg.rom
PalmOS40dr3-jp-v-fulldbg.rom
.. i aint testing any more.. tedius :)
without any problems.. dr2 was released @ PalmSource 2000.. i never
played with it.. :)) dr1 worked fine :) i doubt it is a rom issue..
