In fbdev parlance, monochrome means black and white and the
number of bits per pixel does not matter.

(It's possible to have 1-bit but the visual is pseudocolor).

Basically, set fix->visual = FB_VISUAL_MONO01 (or MONO10).

Then set var->bits_per_pixel and var->{green|red|blue} to the appropriate
numbers.  Assuming 1-bit monochrome:

var->bits_per_pixel = var->green.length = var->red.length = var->blue.length = 1;
var->green.offset = var->red.offset = var->blue.offset = 0;

You have to ask someone who has docs for that chipset.
