I don't think this is correct.  It describes RGBA8888 as
pseudocolor (indexed palette).  Try doing an fbset -depth 8
and check the fbset -i output again.  

But the depth is already 8. And this matches with the LineLength and
xres_virtual.

Probably only the rgba bitfields are incorrect.

Yes, but in pseudocolor, the pseudo_palette is not read, so what is
being written to the fb memory are colors 0-15 (which in 32-bit
truecolor will be very light blue on black. This is easy to mistake
as a blank screen).
