Hi frame buffer developers,
I'm wondering about the size of the pseudo_palette: In [1] it is stated
that it always has 17 entries - 16 for the console colors and the last
one for the cursor. But googling around I found this posts [2] [3] from
January 2003 that mention that this is not true anymore. So the question
is are 16 entries enough for fbcon? Or did I miss something else here?
Because I saw a lot of frame buffer drivers allocating 256 and I don't
know what this might be good for.
Thanks in advance!
