Other framebuffer depths seem to be compiled as modules. The netwinder
config.in has:
CONFIG_FBCON_MFB=m
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB2=m
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB4=m
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB8=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB16=m
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB24=m
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB32=m
In theory, then, you should be able to "modprobe fbcon-cfb24" and then
fbset --depth 24, or whatever.
