display and graphics chip set of 701s

Hi,

Does anyone know how many bits of each RGB component the display and
graphics chip set can handle?

I'm using Linux, and the SVGA X server I use doesn't seem to understand
anything beyond 640x480 in 256 colors with a resolution of 6 bits in each
of the three color dimensions (RGB).  Anyone know of a better server or if
better support is planned for the ct65545 chipset?

Tragic.  I would so much have liked to run 640x480 in 16bit on the TFT
and 1024x768 in 256 colors on an external CRT. :(  Is that doable with,
lets say, Windows 95?


Bye,
