please apply the patch below which will add proper handling for
monochrome graphic cards.

Both changes are required since there are graphic cards out in the
voi^Wwild that are monochrome but have bits_per_pixel set to something
else than 1, e.g. PMAG-AA which uses 8 bits per pixel but ignores 7 of
it.

Since currently no such card is supported, this change wasn't
required.  However, we developed support for the PMAG-AA card and we
would like to add support for it to the Linux kernel, of course.

HP300 TopCat uses a similar scheme, and is supported by Linux/m68k.
