The colors in Xorg 7.2 are swapped at depths above 8bpp on the xorg fbdev driver. This was observed on two separate machines that were configured with GXT4500 and similar framebuffers, with the gxt4500 kernel driver. Colors were normal on 8bpp, but were swapped at higher settings. This issue occurred independently of card(all gxt4500 supported cards), resolution, or UseFBDev setting. Colors were as expected at 8bpp. The framebuffer console was unaffected. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Set up a 2008.0 ppc64 system with a GXT4500P or similar card, with 64bit userland. 2.Configure a system with a kernel that uses the gxt4500 framebuffer kernel driver. 3.Build xorg-x11 7.2 ebuild, with xorg-drivers 1.3.0.0-r5. 4.Use fbdev driver in xorg.conf. An example will be attached of an xorg.conf that will work. 5.Launch xorg with any window manager or application. TWM can be used as an example. Actual Results: Cyan colors were swapped for yellows, golds were swapped with light blues, blues were swapped with reds. Grays, whites, and blacks remained unchanged. Expected Results: The colors should not have been swapped at any color depth. Note: emerge --info will be pasted into attachments due to length. The kernel is a stock 2.6.21.1 kernel. An initial solution to this issue was to copy over an old libfbdevhw.so over the new one. This fixed the color swapping issue.

Could you give sync and give xorg-server-1.4.2 a shot?
Created attachment 158705 [details] Xorg log after sync and emerge of xorg-server 1.4.2
Trying xorg-server 1.4.2 was unsuccessful - see new attachment. If it requires more packages to emerge, I'll be glad to do so.
Please file a bug at bugs.freedesktop.org in the xorg product with your Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf from 1.4.2, and post the URL here so we can track it. Thanks!

I apologize if this comes as bugspam - this is to clarify the following: The reference to 16569 is not to Gentoo's 16569(unrelated), but freedesktop's 16569.
Unfortunately I didn't read your attachment showing that you didn't follow the post-installation instructions of xorg-server, and I assumed that you had actually reproduced the issue on 1.4.2. Please do so.
