R: R: [Voyage-linux] Alix1/3 VGA support (lxfb)

[Dario Finardi]

I've seen the generic VGA driver isn't driving correctly the 24/32bit depth.
Are you able to use the VESA driver?

We run it at 640x480x16bits, which is basically the resolution that the IP camera gives us. However, I did some tests at higher resolutions (don't remember exactly which ones) and things were looking fine. There was a funny thing I noticed though: 24 & 32bit modes were not working properly :(
