As Martin mentioned, it's very important to have the SCREEN_PIXTYPE
value set properly for X11.

I still don't know what mode you're running the FB driver in.

You're welcome to send me your jpeg, and I'll take a look at it.
Unfortunately, I'm only running 8bpp, since I can't get my fb
to run in truecolor.  So I haven't tested the truecolor stuff.
