Palette problems with XFree 4

[Ross Vumbaca <rossv1@optushome.com.au>]

Hi,

I'm working on getting Debian Linux ported to a new PPC board called an 
"AmigaOne".

I've been trying to use XFree86 4.1 with a Permedia2 (glint) video card.

It all seems to work well, but the palette is somehow trashed in most modes.

In 8bpp modes, the palette is fine.

In 15, 16 or 24 bpp modes the palette is trashed. In 15 and 16 bpp modes 
it is like a rainbox, with all sorts of odd colours appearing on 
displayed images ("Debian" backdrop in WindowMaker).

If I use a 24 bpp mode, all the icons in WindowMaker are "yellow".

I tried to see if I could fix this, by specifiying:

Section "ServerFlags"
	Option  "Pixmap" "24"

The palette improves and what happens is that colours appear to invert. 
I.e Red becomes blue, blue becomes red.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Ross..
