Hi Marcin, I haven't played much with 16 bpp on the gma500 kernel driver but at
the moment it seems broken. I added a screen section to xorg.conf with
DefaultDepth 16 running the fbdev driver. That, at least tries to do the right
thing but gma500 fails in setting it up. On the other hand, you managed to set
800x480 at 16bbp. Have you tried the vesafb driver? Might do a better job.
