I'm using it as a 565 RGB on the TS7300, i can't find the transparency 
enable bit though if it exists in the 640x480 framebuffer driver. I had 
asked a few days ago but no luck so far. Its talked about in the 800x600 
driver but i can't find info on that either.

Its page flipped, there are 7 pages of video memory and you can set which 
one is displayed, and which one is writeable over the bus. there are two 
sets of 3 bits that control which is displayed and which is writeable

You're missing that the documents are in byte(8 bit)  offsets, and that the 
software is in WORD(16 bits) addressing so in the manual +8 bytes equates to 
+4 words, since each register is a 16 bit entry. The 0x30 offset is correct 
too.
