8-bit clut mode

[foft]

Hi,


I'd like to use OMAP_DSS_COLOR_CLUT8 8-bit colour mode. I tried setting it with fbset, but it does not seem to understand 8bpp. I checked the omapfb kernel code (from a random version I have at home) and I see that it validates the params vs a very small set of modes which do not include any 8-bit ones. Is there a workaround for this? Does the OMAP not actually support the mode or is this just a kernel bug?


Thanks,


Mark

Sorry that question was a bit obscure. What I mean is:


i) Does the 8-bit colour mapped mode work?


ii) If not has anyone looked into if its a driver or a hardware issue?


Thanks,


Mark

The hardware supports it, but driver in 2.6.27 kernel doesn't, haven't checked if 3.2 kernel got support or not.
