Perhaps this is a question for hardware folks, not devel folks, but could someone out there tell me if the reflective, b/w mode for the monitor will be 8-bit greyscale or 1-bit on-off pixels? I am writing an application for the laptop, but it is *essential* that it run completely in the reflective mode if that is possible; I need to know if I can use "greys" or only strict "black" and "white".
Also, are there *software* handles for the reflective vs transmissive modes, or is that always controlled by hardware and/or the user? Thanks very much in advance for any help you can give. Hogg ps. If you want to know *why* I need to work in the reflective mode: my application is for backyard/schoolyard astronomy and we must maintain dark adaptation.
