Is anyone aware of video controllers that pack eight 24-bit pixels into
4 quad words? E.g. two of the pixels are subdivided into 8bit component
colors and packed into the unused bytes of the other pixels.

RGB1 R3 RGB2 G3
RGB4 B3 RGB5 R8
RGB6 G8 RGB7 B8

I know it is probably not very fast but i am curious if it has been
tried commercially.

Thanks!

WHAT IS GOING ON HERE......


AN 18 MONTH OLD MONITOR IS LOSING VIDEO RESOLUTION IN STEPWISE
DEGRADATION....
IT WAS SET AT 1024x768X256 ( SUPER VGA)...WORKS FINE TILL THE
COMPUTER IS SWITCHED OFF AND ON AGAIN THEN IT WILL NOT ACCEPT
THIS RESOLUTION BUT WILL TAKE A LOWER RESOLUTION...UNTIL ANOTHER
OFF/ON SWITCH AGAIN THEN ONLY THE NEXT LOWER RESOLUTION WILL DO
UNTIL ONE RUNS OUT OF VIABLE SETTINGS.....


IT HAS RECENTLY BEING LOOKED OVER BY A QUALIFIED TECH. WITH
THE LEGENDRY SLIMLINE/UNHELPFUL MANUAL FROM IBM. TO NO AVAIL


HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN THIS OR HEARD OF THIS.
SEND SUGGESTIONS AND/OR HELP
