the GPU memory is defined in the file /boot/config.txt. The bios on ARM computers is on the boot file system. I add here the parameter at the end of the file /boot/config.txt:
gpu_mem=128
I added gpu_mem=128 to that file, rebooted, and ...
I think 128MB is the max, if your system has only 512MB memory.
Full HD resolution is 1920 * 1080 = 1,966,080 and this number * 24bit colour = 47,185,920.I am not an expert with graphics but I think you should have all colors.
... sadly, I'm still getting this: [ 298.790] (==) FBDEV(0): Depth 16, (==) framebuffer bpp 16
I've tried appending the parameter to the existing last line in config.txt, as well as placing it in a new line. Same result.
Haven't tried your suggestion "Minibian" yet.
