I'm currently building a server for X11R4 for Interactive's ix/386 and a
VGA-Videocard. For the initial port I used the mfb code. But there is a big
Problem: I cann't believe it, mfb is buggy!!!! The story is that I used 
following defines in include/servermd.h:

	IMAGE_BYTE_ORDER  	LSBFirst
  	BITMAP_BIT_ORDER  	MSBFirst
	GLYPHPADBYTES     	4
	GETLEFTBITS_ALIGNMENT 	1	
	
Now, when I call xsetroot to set my rootwindow the pixmap appears in wrong
Byteorder. This is not too serious. The real bad thing is that working with
xterm with fixed fonts is nearly impossible, because when using the font 8x13
only every fourth letter is printed on the screen. Doing xterm with other
fixed fonts looks more like kanji then plain englisch.

Has anyboy out there the same problem ???

Really more important: HAS ANYBODY SOLVED THIS PROBLEM.???
