The gauge framebuffer is an encoded stream: each 16bpp pixel packs all six
cockpit displays. Decoded live into per-display windows:
bits 0-5 = the COLOR radar/tactical display, as 6-bit RGB (2 bits/channel)
bits 6-7 = mono display 1 (nav scope)
bits 8-9 = mono display 2 (weapons/systems)
bits 10-11 = mono display 3 (sensor cluster)
bits 12-13 = mono display 4
bits 14-15 = mono display 5
That's 6 + 5x2 = 16 bits exactly -> six displays (1 color + 5 mono), matching
the pod hardware. A 7th window (bits 16-17) confirms the budget: it's black.
Each display now renders in its own 640x480 window from the shared framebuffer
(vga.mem.linear). Mono screens show as brightness; the three VDB palettes are
the per-display color maps (next: apply them).
