Hi,

>> Why does it work with the fbdev driver then?

Just a guess.

Since we are using an uninitialized variable whatever was in memory
previously determined the value of xFormat.  So the result was random
behavior when checking for formats.

So anything that changed the stack usage or memory layout would / should
have an impact.
