When porting some software I noticed a negative value of a char data type in C doesn't seem to work...is this common to all Cortex CPUs?

Anyone know whether 16bpp color mode works? It could speed up the system a lot if you don't need photorealistic graphics.
<hglm>
Anyone know how to enable 16bpp color mode?
<hglm>
Also the filesystem should use write-back mode (I think the other mode is very slow).
<hglm>
To keep speed/responsiveness up, the key is to reduce file write access to flash memory...so that means few log files and all temporary files in tmpfs (ramdisk) directories
<hglm>
On my device, takes about 2 hours.

Have you compiledthe kernel on your device or cross-compiled, hglm ?
<hglm>
Does anyone know how to enable 16bpp pixel mode? It should be significantly faster.

Ubuntu on PCs is not known to be the fastest, they sacrifice performance for compatibility/stability (still, I use it on my PC).
<hglm>
Yes, I downloaded a Debian image linked on the wiki, and compiled the latest kernel.
<DidiBsAs>
I think the Ubuntu image I'm using is not as smooth as it can be. Did you do a fresh Debian install, hglm?
<hglm>
Does Ubuntu run well? I am using a Debian wheezy.
<DidiBsAs>
hglm, I'm back to Ubuntu now, but will remember for next time I try Fedora.

@Didi Make sure you have "disp." before screen0_output_type=4

Actually it does support 1024x768 on VGA...maybe you need a diffent syntax on the kernel command line
<hglm>
I thnk the A10 doesn't support 1024x768....only 1280x1024 plus TV/HD resolutions
