From 1e482f75f169861e992eb6b5602dc73a9e0b63a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marcin Slusarz Date: Sun, 6 Nov 2011 20:32:04 +0100 Subject: drm/nouveau: by default use low bpp framebuffer on low memory cards Framebuffer's BPP is not that important but can waste significant part of memory on low-VRAM cards. Lower it to 8bpp on < 32MB cards and to 16bpp on 64MB cards. It can still be overridden by video= option.
