Hello,
Imlib should certainly support 8bpp. If I remember correctly, it likes to have
a palette information file (usually either in /etc or /usr/local/etc) that
contains RGB triplets for its default colormap.
In fact, looking at the error message you gave in the source, it looks like it
is trying to locate this file to initialize its palette. If you look in your
imlib build tree, there is a config directory which should contain some
im_palette* files. Copy the im_palette.pal file to either /etc or
/usr/local/etc (or wherever your imlib build prefix was) on the target
device. See if this helps.

Hi,
We have developed a custom board with StrongARM processor. support for the
LCD thru the frame buffer driver is available. Access to the frame buffer
is through the XWindows XFbdev.
When i run the viewml, i can browse the web. but the images present in
the web site dont get displayed. However all other contents of the web site
get displayed. The LCD we are having is 320x240 passive. and it is 8bpp.
And the frame buffer driver sets the FB_VISUAL_PSEUDOCOLOR for display
mode, as it is 8bpp.
The error message i get is
IMLIB error: Cannot find palette. A Palette is required for this mode.
in spite of this message i can see the content of the web site.
The same Xfbdev and viewml binaries works well when i use VGA card instead
of the LCD. The VGA card supports 16bpp.
Should i infer that to display images we need TRUEOCOLOR support from the
frame buffer driver and hence a 16bpp support???
Any suggestion / hint / link to get the images on viewml under 8bpp would
be appreciated.
