^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 18) * 4 bpp pseudocolor modes (with 18bit palette, two variants)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 19) * 8 bpp pseudocolor mode (with 18bit palette)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 20) * 16 bpp truecolor mode (RGB 565)

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 24) * panning in both directions
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 25) * suspend/resume support

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 27)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 28) Text mode is supported even in higher resolutions, but there is limitation to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 29) lower pixclocks (maximum about 100 MHz). This limitation is not enforced by
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 30) driver. Text mode supports 8bit wide fonts only (hardware limitation) and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 31) 16bit tall fonts (driver limitation).
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 32)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 33) There are two 4 bpp modes. First mode (selected if nonstd == 0) is mode with
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 34) packed pixels, high nibble first. Second mode (selected if nonstd == 1) is mode
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 35) with interleaved planes (1 byte interleave), MSB first. Both modes support
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 36) 8bit wide fonts only (driver limitation).
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 37)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 38) Suspend/resume works on systems that initialize video card during resume and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 39) if device is active (for example used by fbcon).
