I got the answer already: It uses 24bpp internally and the backends copy
to whatever bpp depth they are in when they draw to screen. Then I really
think be_common_24 should be renamed to be_common - the "24" is just
confusing, hinting that there should be other numbered be_common_* files
there one day.
