Yes. In DirectColor, there is a lookup table for each component
(red/green/blue) whereas PseudoColor only has a lookup table for the actual
pixel value.
Looking at the code, changing it to '>= PseudoColor' shouldn't cause any
problems. At worst it will bail out to monochrome again. In fact, it might
be an idea to change it to '>= StaticColor', as the same applies to that too.
(Anybody got a StaticColor display?)
Cheers,
Geoff.
