there was some discussion on debian-powerpc about acceleration
problems with framebuffers (which are not optional on ppcs
unfortunatly) the problems were caused by running the system in color
depths higher then 8 bit. the consensus however was that it was
pointless to use higher depths since the console does not have any
more colors.

i'd like to know too!
there are some examples for how to do that on the framebuffer howto,
unfortunatly none work on my ppc (rage128) framebuffer so it seems its
dependant on the driver/hardware...
