The fact that whitePixel is 0 and blackPixel is 1 has been built into the code
at several places in the implementation on the X11R4 server. This makes it
difficult to port the server to architectures where the values of white and
black are reversed.

Has there been any effort in X11R5 server implementation which isolates this
dependencies so as to make the port easier? (One way would be to have #define
for white and black)

Thanks,
