Although 24bpp mode is shown as only visual in XFree86.0.log and via
xdpyinfo, the image is obviously shown only with 16bpp on the TFT screen.
The 64 grayscale colors are easily visible.

I'm using XFree86 Version 4.1.0.1 on x86-Linux connected via DVI (digital
mode) to the screen. Graphics card is ATI Radeon VE (module radeon) which
works well in true 24bpp mode on Windows98.

Any configuration detail I overlooked?
Is anyone else using the ATI Radeon VE in digital mode?

As I read on http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/xpert/2002-October/021803.html
Jeff Brubaker has the same problem. As you can in the logs, the 24bpp is
really selected, and nowhere (in the whole log) can be 16bpp seen.

from XFree86.log:
(**) RADEON(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32
(II) RADEON(0): Pixel depth = 24 bits stored in 4 bytes (32 bpp pixmaps)
(==) RADEON(0): Default visual is TrueColor
(==) RADEON(0): RGB weight 888
(II) RADEON(0): Using 8 bits per RGB (8 bit DAC)

from xdpyinfo:
depths (7):    24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32
depth of root window:    24 planes

number of visuals:    8
default visual id:  0x23
visual:
  visual id:    0x23
  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
