Hi,
don't know about the virtual screen size, but managed to get the color
depth:
You have to set the color depth in /etc/X11/XF86Config:
---
# **********************************************************************
# Screen sections
# **********************************************************************
# Server for the Linux Frame Buffer Device
Section "Screen"
Driver "FBDev"
Device "Linux Frame Buffer Device"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultColorDepth 32
^^^^
!! change to this (24 will not work)
SubSection "Display"
Depth 1
Modes "default"
#Virtual 1280 960
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 4
Modes "default"
#Virtual 1280 960
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "default"
#Virtual 1280 960
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "default"
#Virtual 1280 960
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "default"
#Virtual 1280 960
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 32
Modes "default"
EndSubSection
EndSection

But for me it runs without graphics acceleration.
My system: PowerBook Pismo, kernel 2.2.15pre19, XFree 3.3.5, XF86_FBDev.
