I am pretty sure that the driver provides 16 colors, because at least
one of the
programs I have lets you choose colors and it gave me 16 choices (from a
rather bland palette, I might add; I wonder if there's a way to change them).
The `4' in Mode800x600x4 might refer to the number of bits per color instead
of the number of colors, which would provide 2**4 or 16 different colors.
