palettes, etc

Reply-To: 
Hello...

i've finally got GGI stable cvs working on my system, its very cool, very
fast.. i've only got the X target (as i havent had the courage to try and
patch the kernel) so...

i'm a bit confused with the palette system... if i'm using a 16bit resolution
(say 640x480x16bpp), do i HAVE to build a palette?
i've developed with Allegro (a DOS/DJGPP graphics/games lib, really cool), and
you only need to work with palettes when using a 8bpp res, not in 16bpp+... is
this the case with libGGI?

Thanks
