- Hi,
-
- I am using the binary XFree86 from agate and various versions of xv ( bin &
- src ). As I haven't got a SuperVGA card yet, I am stuck with B/W 800x600.
-
- However, when I start 'xv' , it's title picture looks a little strange :
-
- Longwords byte ordering is the wrong way round as well as the bit ordering
- within the single bytes. That way you get vertical stripes divided into
- four smaller stripes.
- Loaded pictures look just the same way.
-
- Has anybody observed the same problem already ? Ist it me who's doing
- something wrong ?
-
- I've had a look at the sources of 'xv', but haven't found a simple way of
- changing the bit / byte ordering there.
-

- Thanks a lot to all of you who made 386bsd & XFree86 possible !
- On my DECstation 320 ( 386sx/387sx @20MHz , 6 MB RAM , 200MB HD ) things
- work just fine - even though 'gwm' takes its time to start up :)
-
- XEmacs, XTetris, XRobots, all of them compiled without major changes.
-
- Thanks in advance for your help,
- Pascal Pederiva
