 I can get it to switch from 8bit/console to 16bit/X if I change modes
 in MAPPED not DUMBFB:
 
          case WSDISPLAYIO_SMODE: {
 		int new_mode = *(int*)data;
 		if (new_mode != sc->sc_mode) {
 		    int depth = new_mode == WSDISPLAYIO_MODE_EMUL ? 8 : 16;
 
 		    switch(new_mode) {
 		    case WSDISPLAYIO_MODE_EMUL:
 		    case WSDISPLAYIO_MODE_MAPPED:
  		  //case WSDISPLAYIO_MODE_DUMBFB:   // 8 bit ?
 		        sc->sc_mode = new_mode;
 			platinumfb_set_mode(sc, sc->sc_videomode, depth);
 			platinumfb_set_rasops(sc, &ms->scr_ri, true);
 
 			if (new_mode == WSDISPLAYIO_MODE_EMUL)
 			    vcons_redraw_screen(ms);
 		    }
 		}
 		}
 		return 0;
 
 Guess I don't understand the difference between MAPPED and DUMBFB.  If
 I do
 		    case WSDISPLAYIO_MODE_EMUL:
 		  //case WSDISPLAYIO_MODE_MAPPED:
  		    case WSDISPLAYIO_MODE_DUMBFB:
 
 X always starts in 8 bit, so it seems like I need to set depth when MAPPED ?
