[Linux-fbdev-users] Help with 800x480 Framebuffer (16 bit color or less)

[Lan U. <ob...@am...>]

Hello,

I'm the proud owner of a Toshiba Libretto 100CT sub
laptop that has an 800x480 LCD screen.  I'm using the
2.6.16 kernel.  I'd like to enable bootsplash on this
machine but need a 16 bit or less framebuffer to do
so.

I found the 24 bit framebuffer mode of vga=806 but I'm
unable to figure out a 16 bit (or less) mode that for
the 800x480 resolution.

Is there a full list of modes that someone could refer
me to or is there another way to "discover" the
correct vga= number that will enable 800x480 at 16 bit
color or less?

Thanks much in advance,

Patrick.
