correct. None of the FX card is supported at the moment, because there is
still no documenatation available. I tried to treat the framebuffer as
a 24bit non packed framebuffer, but that gives me some really odd looking
graphic. Looks like PDC sets it up to some special pixel writing mode,
because it only deals with 3 planes.
