Not only penguin logo but the whole X graphics got strange colors,
too, according to the bug report.  I put the original reporter/tester
(Dinar Valeev) to Cc.
I'm merely a person who tries to fix this mess ;)

BTW, did you try to run X on fbdev?

Yes, it was with qemu -vga std -vnc :x.
About different color depths, Dinar can test / clarify better, I
suppose.

Big endian should work as is because my patch uses the original
offsets when fb_be_math() is true.  It corrects the RGB offsets if
!fb_be_math().

But, I'm also entirely not sure whether this is 100% correct, either.
Namely, if the RGB offsets were correct for some little endian
machines with offb, my patch would break it, of course.  But, then
your previous fix must have already broken it as well, so I took the
same fb_be_math() check.


thanks,
