while we are about to improve the atyfb, is it possible to fix the color
depth switching?
When I boot without a kernel arg I end up with 8 bit at console. I can't
increase the color depth afterwards with fbset, and mol crashes when it
tries to do that. When I specify atyfb:cmode:24 everythings works fine
and I can switch down to 8 and back to 24 and mol starts fine.

Does it also crash when you increase the color depth with fbset?

It was not clear enough: I can not fbset when I have only 8 bit. But XF4
can increase the color depth, maybe it does that in a different way?

plum:~ # fbset

mode "1024x768-60"
    # D: 64.666 MHz, H: 48.115 kHz, V: 59.696 Hz
    geometry 1024 768 1024 4080 8

    rgba 8/0,8/0,8/0,0/0
endmode

plum:~ # fbset -depth 24
ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument

What about -depth 32? Maybe X uses depth 24, 32 bpp.
