Hi Everyone,
I've done a bit more testing with GNUstep and remote X11 with the X
server
running on PowerPC (little endian) and the apps running on x86 (big
endian):
I did it the other way.
With the xlib back end, everything is fine.
With the art back end, almost everything is fine, but pixmaps have
their
colours inverted.
With the cairo back end, everything has its colour inverted.
xlib works fine for me too, art used to work, cairo is broken, but it
is not "inverted" it has a strange color permutation. (everything is
bluish)
Since the xlib back end lacks a number of features, this isn't
ideal. It is
also, however, a lot more responsive than the other two (with art
being
slower than cairo).
Ideally, they should all work. Xlib is by way faster (if you think it
is smarter, it doesn';t just shovel bitmaps over the network but, for
example, uses the server to display the fonts) especially if you use
fonts with bitmaps and not AA. Then Menus look like local. Scrolling
is slow though.
just as a test I did here
x86->ppc with art and the corruption is strange: some elements adre
correct in color, some nots (blue cast). But for example clicking on
the scrollers makes them alternatively display in the correct or in
the wrong color, while test in the menus displays black and gets blue
when clicking on it...
I'm almost sure it used to work.... years ago.
