Trying to get 16 bit color on my laptop. Compaq LTE 5380

Like I posted in the subject. My laptop is a Compaq LTE 5380. The video adapter is a Cirrus Logic 7548 PCI. Right now I can only display 256 colors. Does anyone know if there is a driver available, or somthing else I can do that will allow me to display 16 bit color, (If this adaper will even support it), and if there is such a driver, where I can get it. Thanks Steve.

when i looked for a driver for that particular chip it said on some driver site "your hardware is very old consider upgrading" this card has 1mb of video memory so it is capable of displaying 16bit colour at 800x 600 i did a serch for you with no luck, though a while back when i downloaded the driver for this chip, it was for win95 and it didnt support 16bit colour.

Uh ... I didn't think someone still actually uses them ancient Cirrus Logic graphics chips.

DEDJEE, your answer is straight up there. Not enough graphics memory for 16-bit color.
