Hello,

I am using cairo for an application <http://jrepetto.free.fr/ttmaps> 
running on TomTom devices (ARM processor, LCD framebuffer in RGB16_565 
mode). Unfortunately, the RGB16_565 mode support has been withdrawn from 
recent versions of cairo, and I have to use an old version. So, I am 
using cairo-1.4.6 
<http://cairographics.org/releases/cairo-1.4.6.tar.gz>, with this patch :

described in this message :

I am not the only one interested by the support of 16 bits RGB mode, 
look at this recent message :
