Yes. The DC fb is configured to 16bit. The problem is how you access the 
framebuffer. You should use a 16 or 32bit access, so you should either use
a int * or a short * in C to write something to the display, never use a char *.

I guess the code for displaying the background is different from the code 
displaying the pictures. I don't know the links internals.
