Committed. Our pnozz driver now supports 8, 16 and 24bit colour with
full acceleration ( 'full' as in 'same as in 8 bit' as in
screen-to-screen blits, solid fills, colour expansion, line drawing,
hardware cursor and off-screen buffers )
I could only test it on my 3GX, it /should/ work on other machines with
P9100 graphics controllers as well. Caveats:
- video RAM size is still hardcoded to 2MB - should be fine for the vast
  majority, I don't know of any SPARCbook with a P9100 and different
  VRAM size but that doesn't mean that there aren't any.
- it's untested on screens with other resolutions than 800x600.=20

have fun
Michael
