Hello, I am trying to run the XFree86 4.4.0 on Linux 2.4.21 on an embedded MIPS platform. Having overcome problems with USB keyboard/mouse and mmap() of /dev/mem of PCI space, etc., I am able to run the X server via the ATI Rage XL card. X clients with no characters are fine, such as xlogo, xbiff, etc. Here is the problem, in XTERM, characters displayed are hardly recognizable. But anything typed in, such as commands, are ok. For example, "echo 1" command is ok, but the output "1" is distorted. And in XCALC, each character is very clear but the combination is wrong, e.g. "INV" was displayed as "IVN", "sin" becomes "sni", "log" becomes "lgo", etc. Now due to HW platform issue, the big-endian based OS/SW must do byte-swapping to do PIO access to the PCI space inclusing the ATI card. HW handles the byte-swapping for the DMA. I programmed the byte-swapping for the ATI card MMIO aperture and the linear aperture. But the probem persists. I am new to the Xfree86 and would really appreciate it if you can give me some hint on what could be wrong. Thank you very much. Youlin Feng
