when i switch from 24bit to 16bit mode (I can't test 32bit since that doesn't seem to be supported with the radeon driver).
Isn't 32 bit colour depth just the same as 24 bit with an unused 8 bits?
Well the driver must think there is some difference because it bails out with a "not supported" when i select 32bit color depth :-) I dunno if the radeon actually does a 24bit packed (3 byte) or a 24bit unpacked (4byte) store in the frame buffer. Also the Matrox cards support this 10bit per color thing, so they need 30bit per pixel, there 24bit and 32bit really would be different.
