I applied your direct color patch. The X server has issues without it as 
well. For some reason the screen is cut in half and the colors are wrong.
Even when I leave X. The only solution is to switch back to 8 bpp mode.

I get this too.  For some reason, X fails to dynamically set rivafb to
the mode it wants to use.  So, I have to use fbset first to set rivafb
to the mode and visual X is going to use.  After doing this, I get
XFBdev working nicely (at Depth 15).

I have no problems with DirectFB though.

Ug. Well the driver is really coming along. This is without specs.
