Hi,
If dmx manages two remote screens with different byte order, then images
displayed on the screen with different byte order from the server gets color
distortion.
For example, suppose there are two boxes A and B, where A is on an x86 and B
is on a ppc. If Xdmx is started from an x86 box then image on B is
color-distorted.
The following patch fixes this problem.
Regards,
Junling Ma
