Yes, neither of those differences are relevant, it works just the same
with 16 bit colour (I haven't tried 8 bit), and the /dev/ttyE0 reference
isn't necessary.  My assumption is that one has to get something in the
Monitor section entries bang on, or it won't work.  (But I don't know
for sure, I found this on the web a few years ago and it "just worked".)
