I wish a ad even 32 shades of gray in my thinkpad :) Well
sometimes the display can't handle large amounts of colors, so it
is wise to use a smaller and faster x-server, I think that the orginal
poster had something like this in mind?
Yep, 16 colours means I have to read, modify and write 1 Byte for every
Pixel.
when I use a 256 colour version I could change the colour a pixel just
with a simple write operation, that should be faster.
I don't know the (S)VGA modes good enough to decide if this is possible.
regards and happy new year.
