  No. The vsimm determines whether the frame buffer operates in 8-bit or 1-bit
mode. Simply insert a "color vsimm" (more memory for more bitplanes, nothing
more) and you've got a color framebuffer.

  VR290 and VR299 at the very least. Definitely others as well but those are
the only ones I've used.
