Hi,

Does anyone know how many bits of each RGB component the display and
graphics chip set can handle?

I'm using Linux, and the SVGA X server I use doesn't seem to understand
anything beyond 640x480 in 256 colors with a resolution of 6 bits in each
of the three color dimensions (RGB). Anyone know of a better server or if
better support is planned for the ct65545 chipset?

Tragic. I would so much have liked to run 640x480 in 16bit on the TFT
and 1024x768 in 256 colors on an external CRT. :( Is that doable with,
lets say, Windows 95?

Bye,
