Comment(by sunrise1):

 But according to Xorg.0.log and the xdpyinfo command in 8.2.1 on a C2
 XO-1, the Geode LX framebuffer depth and bpp are both 16, and the default
 X11 visual is RGB 565 (TrueColor 16 planes deep). I don't know what the
 "native" XRender format is.

 The Cairo and pixman rendering libraries continue to gain optimizations
 for 16bpp, though not as much as for 24 [http://www.tagnice.com  nike air

 (Firefox) to "Enable 16bpp (or native visual xrender fmt)", Mozilla bugs
 386440 and 491357. Those should be taken into account if and when this bug
 is re-decided.
