Good to hear. > The color issue is still present, and I think that's an endian issue, since >it's being drawn on an x86 Not surprising, Xvnc hosted on powerpc and rendering on x86 is unusable due to what sounds like similar issues. >(X forwarding of konqueror). I've had konqueror on BETA3. The kde-lite port took 22 hours to build on a 1.25Ghz G4 :). There is an issue with position-independent executables (PIE) which are used by KDE for various utilities: I had to hand-build these as non-PIE (e.g. one of the startup files, kdeinit ?). I'm looking into why the toolchain isn't producing the right thing for these. Now, does anyone out there have time to dig into the low-level ppc asm code needed to get Firefox running ? :) later, Peter.
