Hi!
I wonder how colors works. I mean, 32 bits is 4294967296 different colors
but only 16777216 are used (24 bits). Can anyone explain this to me or show
me a page that explains it.

Then I wonder what's the best way to type fine text in VESA mode (with
different width). Can I use FreeType or is it any better or more simple
avaible? FreeType could be illegal to use.

Thanks for all answers.
