I didn't mention Pseudocolor, simply because noone interested in
serious color display (where the depth of the colormap entries
would be important) would use it. Anyone with color quality ambitions
would expect at least 8 bits/component, == 24 bits/pixel, and
it wouldn't make sense (and I doubt anyone has implemented) a
24 bit Pseudocolor display (you'd need 50Meg of RAMDAC memory!).
