However the screen has a resolution where dithering gives great effects.
So the Nokia US site is wrong? I check the Italian site too and it reports the same thing...

Yes. As I said, maybe the hw is more than 16bpp, but the framebuffers are not. Hopefully I am corrected.

I would imagine it saves a lot of memory sticking with 16bit although photo viewing would be nice in 24bit, although probably only noticeable when extremely zoomed in to a photo.

Wouldn't 24bit also be a hit on the 3D acceleration? I am not sure if its possible to switch between 16bit (running a game) and 24bit, with compositing enabled. Could be a reason to keep Maemo 16bit all round.

Dunno the screens. Framebuffer is not for sure.

Hm, so you think that only you are right or what? That you are smarter than Nokia or what? I don't understand your framebuffers, but the N900 has 16 Million colors, fact. What more do you have to know?

Is it automatically a fact when stated wrong on the market spec sheet?

Here's a fact:

Code:
$ python
>>> import gtk
>>> gtk.gdk.get_default_root_window().get_depth()
16
>>>

Change it to 24 or 32 and see if it crashes!

It's read-only. You'd have to mess with the X server configuration file.

And I don't feel like bricking my device.
16 bits color depth is what the users are going to see. Does it matter if you could hack it? (I doubt that you can increase the depth)
