Bug#400507: Endianess problem whith compiz on PPC
Package: compiz-core
Version: 0.2.2-1
I tried compiz on my PPC mac-mini, but colours are wrongs. Compiz itself
seems to have a little warning when it is starts:
~$ compiz --replace &
[1] 6396
~$ libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b
/usr/bin/compiz.real: water: GL_ARB_fragment_program is missing
Nonetheless, OpenGl programs and games are working the way the ought to
be, with correct colours. Compiz is the only one presenting a colour bug.
Observed effects are: a quite uniform blue shade (the blue and magenta
syndrome), and some colour inversions (green to red, etc).
I saw that the same exact bug had been corrected for the ubuntu version
of the Beryl project. The related page is:

and the related screenshot of the infamous blue shade is here (for beryl
also):

If necessary I can provide the same kind of screenshot for the Debian
version of compiz.
Last, but not least, on the first link I provided, it is said that the
bug is xorg related rather than Beryl related, in this case. Since the
symptoms look the same, I expect the reasons are the same here, but I
cannot be sure.
I use a fairly up to date Etch Debian distribution with the standard
linux 2.6.17-2-powerpc kernel.
The videocard as listed by lspci:
0000:00:10.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280
[Radeon 9200] (rev 01)
And I use the standard aty/radeon drivers for xorg.
