No. The graphic drivers are responsible for it.

This is why it is impossible to use a simple  framebuffer  driver  on
the  Coral-P  in  16  bit mode. You can run a framebuffer with 24 bpp
(and actually our first demo dreiver was doing this), but it ain't no
fun.

Also, with  a  framebuffer  driver  you  miss  all  the  options  for
accelerated graphics provided by the Coral-P engine.

This is why we implemented an accelerated X11 driver for the Coral-P.

Best regards,
