As of 1.4T, the tcx driver in tree needed only minimal tweaks to work
with the S24 enough for me to build an Xs24.  (Comparatively little use
of the acceleration - what acceleration there is - but it handled 8bpp
and 24bpp on the same screen.)

I don't know how true this is of later in-tree drivers, though I would
tend to assume it's mostly true.
