The problem with 24bpp is that it is a rather unusual depth these days, cirrus is pretty much the only relevant device still using that, and it is a endless source of issues. Wayland doesn't support it at all. Bugs in Xorg keep showing up. Typically either 32bpp or 16bpp are used. Using 32bpp would limit the resolution to 800x600 due to hardware constrains. So lets go with 16bpp. Also use the default depth for the framebuffer console and mode_info->preferred_depth.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
