Description of problem: Weird colours of remote desktop via freerdp on ppc64 and s390x architectures. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): freerdp-1.0.2-4.el6.(ppc64|s390x) How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. xfreerdp $WindowsIP Actual results: colours of remote desktop are deformed, maybe due to different endianness Expected results: colours of remote desktop are normal Additional info: This is arch specific bug, appears on ppc64 and s390x; x86_64 and i386 are fine.

Endianess issue?
I'm missing some info about the setup. What is the client and what is the remote machine ? Are they both ppc64 ? Please describe the steps you did both on the client and the remote machine (steps to setup the remote display server)
Tomas was connected from x86_64 to ppc4/s390x via VNC and in VNC session freerdp was executed.
I see weird colors with 8/16/24 color depth also. 32bit color depth (-a 32) seems to work correctly... Yes probably endianess issue. I used ssh -X to connect from x86_64 to ppc64 machine and see this issue when accessing Windows 7 machine over rdp.
I hoped it is fixed upstream, but it seems it is even worse. I tried several newer versions and the result is almost same, or it exits with decryption error, or it crashes with segfaults instead. Several upstream reports exists in regards to color/endianness problems. Probably the most relevant one is following: https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/issues/2520

Just a note that it works correctly with -a 32 over SSH X11 forwarding, because X11 server on client is used, which is actually little endian. However it fails in all cases if VNC is used, or if the big endian machine is used directly...
Bug occurs also with package version freerdp-1.0.2-10.el7.
on architectures ppc64 and s390x
