Description Troels Just 2006-11-18 23:45:59 UTC
Description of problem:
Because of an endianness bug in the AIGLX GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap
implementation, when running Compiz or Beryl the screen gets all blue.
This bug is fixed upstream.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.1.1-47

How reproducible:
very easy to reproduce.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the final version of Fedora Core 6 on a PowerPC machine.
2. Use the simple Desktop Effects tool to enable Compiz.
  
Actual results:
The screen gets a layer of blue added to it, which causes parts it to also get
pink and purple.

Expected results:
Compiz to just function normally, as it does on x86 and AMD64.

Additional info:
I ran into this problem on my PowerPC G4-based Mac mini, which uses a Radeon
9200 graphics chip. I know people with iBooks, also using the 9200 chip, have
also run into this problem.

I have posted the files you requrested, I hope to have this fixed relatively
soon, because what's a presentation using a projector worth without a properly
working Compiz? :P

I've the same problem with both iBook and Mac Mini with compiz and AIGLX too. I
hope that this problem can be solved (if you want i can attach myxorg confifg
and log).

I'm experiencing the same problem here on a mac mini.
I suppose that anyone running compiz on a ppc is facing this bug.
