I think this is a feature, but I remember I could change the resolution with
fbset. Not sure about the depth though. And I can not test it anymore, since
my CV3D is dead :-(
So just pick one depth and stick with it, if 16 bit is fast enough for you,
why would you want 8?
If you don't like it, grab the virgefb source (the latest should be included
in the kernel-patch, in CVS, if not, grab it from my pages) and fix it
yourself. But be sure to talk to Ken Tyler, he rewrote the whole driver, he
might be able to help.

fbdev. And try xev to figure out which key is mapped where.
