           Summary: tridentfb console at 16 bpp appears in funny colours
    Kernel Version: 2.6.9
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
             Owner: jsimmons@infradead.org
         Submitter: timothy.lee@siriushk.com


Hardware: CyberBlade/i1 on VIA Epia-800

Problem Description:  When the framebuffer is set to 16 bpp, console's text
colours are incorrect.  For example, white becomes yellow, black becomes blue, etc.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Load tridentfb
2. Use "setterm -n -depth 16" to request 16 bpp framebuffer

The problem arose from the fact that each psuedo palette entry should be 32-bit
in size, even under 16-bit display mode.

I will attach a patch.
