Why are we limiting dom0less domUs to 64 colors when Xen can support up to 128 colors (potentially more in the future)? To avoid tie the bindings too much to Xen, I would instead explicitly list the colors. Something like: colors = < 10 20 30 > This would also help users that manually write the DT to confirm they put the correct numbers. Cheers,
