  Yeap its the same in the x86 side as well, atyfb doesn't support 565
either i imagine you remember the jdk problems that we had in xf68_fbdev
because of this.

But since Mach64 CT/VT/GT do support RGB 565, adding support for it isn't that
difficult. Patches?

 Unfortunately i don't have a mach64 card anymore, i'll take a look in the
xserver side though, right now it looks only in var.bits_per_pixel but this

The X server should be OK, it's atyfb that needs to be patched.

is set to 16 even in the 555 case so we need to check green.length as well
right ?

Yes. RGB555 and RGB565 all use 16 bit pixels.
