It's there in David's 2.4.31. I loaded the module and put it in my
/etc/rc too.

And it's in my debian kernel config, too, as a module. Loaded at boot.
With my BIOS set just like it is.

Good thinking!

But the conversion with

ppmtobmp >/tmp/2.bmp
 
Is setting the depth at 8 bit. Know how to make it do 16?
