Raspbian - Unable to set True color

[fulvio1981]

Hi Everybody,
I'm trying to set up true color (24bpp or 32bpp) on Raspbian, but every attempt fail. I'd like to achieve a result like when I show images onto xbmc.
The release I've installed is 2014-09-09 with Kernel version 3.12
I've tried to add in config.txt framebuffer_depth parameter and also framebuffer_ignore_alpha=1. With these settings the gradient is showed correctly, but colors are incorrect.
Anyone know what's wrong?

did you assign enough memory to the GPU?

I set 256MB

I'm curious why it would take more than 64MB of video memory to display 32bpp? Also what is the default color depth and how does one find that information?

Thanks!

I've been using the following for a long time

Code: Select all

framebuffer_depth=32
framebuffer_ignore_alpha=1

(At the moment disabled because the new browser engine broke true color support in epiphany / kweb3)
