Cool :)

It looks like a configuration problem... changing the color depth with 
fbset while pgserver is running would definitely confuse it. Have you 
tried setting the color depth with fbset before running pgserver?

Another thing to try... to take the bulk of picogui out of the picture 
and just test the video drivers, you may find the video test modes 
helpful. Compile them into your pgserver (it's in the debug menu) and 
you should be able to run "pgserver --videotest=help" for a crash 
course on using it.

The fbdev driver is definitely what you want to use, the SDL driver has 
lots of frills designed for debugging and emulating handhelds on 
desktop computers. It could be that there's something quirky about your 
framebuffer. If you're still having trouble, send the output of fbset, 
it may be an unsupported format.

Good luck!

BTW, you can also get help on the #picogui channel on 
irc.openprojects.net if you prefer realtime chat
