I encounter a problem trying to use professional 18bit display (6bit by color) with a raspberry pi. Because the two missing bits are most significant bits, all display are ugly. Due to antialias, text become near to unreadable...
You could send your suggestion to x18bit@f-hauri.ch. Solution will be reported here and to some forums, with all of references author would present.
- setting "DefaultDepth 18" in xorg.conf doesn't work
- setting "DefaultDepth 16" in xorg.conf work, but does worst...
Seem to be a Endianness problem...
Here are some photos of screen running on Raspberry PI, with Xorg.
Note: Due to antialias, text is very hard to read!
Last picture show the Color Level panel with texts not so readable:
Input Levels
[ 0 ] [ ] Clamp input [ 1.000 ] [ 255 ]
Output Levels
[ 0 ] [ ] Clamp output [ 63 ]
