Right. That should be easy - either it's already there, or it should
be trivial to add. [Yeah, famous last words.] At least the drm driver
supports 30bpp fb's, so that's a start.

OK, so I'm looking at the output in my regular bgrx8888 mode:
depth of root window: 24 planes
default visual id: 0x21
visual:
visual id: 0x21
class: TrueColor
depth: 24 planes
available colormap entries: 256 per subfield
red, green, blue masks: 0xff0000, 0xff00, 0xff
significant bits in color specification: 8 bits
And presumably that would all say 30? And then in glxinfo the visual
depth would also become 30?

I was hoping there was a common answer to that question. But I suppose
you're right. And we use a 256-sized LUT which is going to mess this
up bigtime... the later hardware does support larger ones... maybe.
Thanks,
