[Xorg-driver-geode] RFC: should this patch be merged?

[Martin-Éric Racine]

Greetings,

I've been going through old patches I hadn't gotten around commiting to Git.

I'd like this mailing list's feedback on the attached patch.

This concerns the driver's default colour depth.

Due to the OLPC's limitted memory, the driver's colour depth has been
kept at 16bpp. However, this clearly puts other Geode products with
plenty of video RAM at a disadvantage. Every now and then, someone has
thus asked whether the depth could be raised to 24bpp.

The attached patch would (unless i'm mistaken) set the depth at 16bpp
if an OLPC DCON is found. Otherwise, it would set the depth at 24bpp.

1) Does this patch do what I think it does?

2) Should I merge it?

Best Regards,
Martin-Éric
