[visionegg] Re: 10-bit framebuffers

Well, we bought ourselves the Radeon 9800 Pro, installed the latest Catalyst
drivers, punched in "32 10 10 10 0" in VisionEgg, and... nothing. OpenGL
(version 1.5.something) reports only 8 bits. Is there anything else we can
try, or is this it? I wonder if 10 bit colour needs to be forced in the
drivers somewhere, sort of like how you need to force the refresh rate for
all the various resolutions in fullscreen mode...

Ah well, 8 bits is definitely a step up from the 6 bit system we'd been using
up til now.

Dear Martin,

I keep my fingers optimistically crossed that 10-bit framebuffers are
available in a consumer-level card.  If it works, it should simply be a
matter of typing "32 10 10 10 0" for the total preferred bit depth and
the number of R G B and A bits per pixel in the Vision Egg initial GUI
screen.

Let us know how it turns out!

Cheers!
Andrew
