Fine. I love it when problems solve themselves alone....

erm... where? (the patch)

Me too, but sometimes a ?: is much more elegant and short.

Isn't  "pixel" and "gap" config entries what you're asking for? Take a 
look at the (old) Display/X11 section on http://lcd4linux.sf.net

That's why the generic graphic framebuffer takes already a byte for a 
pixel (and not a single bit). Someday I want to support colors...
