Description Guy Streeter 2003-04-01 23:35:24 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225

The barcode screensaver displays incorrectly on a bigendian server. The program
creates its bitmaps little-endian, and needs to explicitly identify them as such.

xscreensaver-4.07-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.run the barcode screensaver on a ppc X server
2.see the garbage.
3.
    

Actual Results:  garbled display

Expected Results:  not garbled

Additional info:

I will attach a patch that fixes it.

Comment 3 Ray Strode [halfline] 2004-08-18 10:26:46 UTC 
This has been fixed upstream.  I'll update rawhide xscreensaver to the
newest version some time over the next few days.
Comment 4 Ray Strode [halfline] 2004-08-24 19:04:22 UTC 
Updated packages should appear in rawhide soon.
