Hi Mark,

  5:5:5 mode on all hardware is depth 15, 16 bpp.  5:6:5 is

  can be 24 bpp or 32 bpp. 

what does the x:y:z refer to exactly? bits per R:G:B?

ie 5:5:5 means 5 bit per Red, Green, Blue, stored in a 16bit word in
{system??,video} RAM??

or does the x:y:z refer to another format? (i guess so judging from
5:6:5)


thanks,
