[Bug 1275042]

 

Actually i had already e-mailed Roland Scheideregger privately (thanking
him for still giving some care to this ancient driver with BE systems
although the commit didn't fix the problems :-).

I already tracked down the breakage that affects me to the (otherwise
very sensible) pythonization of the format stuff around commit
d4c780e052c9cc361bed5958b72b42d8151800c2 <quote>:


mesa: Add python to parse the formats CSV file
The basic concept for the format parser was taken from the format CSV
parser in gallium/auxilliary/util.  However, this one has been altered in a
number of ways:

 * Removed big endian vs. little endian stuff (mesa doesn't need it)
 * Better documentation: Almost every method has a full docstring
 * An actual Swizzle class with methods for composition and inverses
 * Over-all cleaner (in my opinion) implementation and class interactions 
 * A few bug fixes

Ahhhh, the joys of optimized code-reuse :-)

Since i'm no pythonista i didn't want to wade into it and still use the
10.3 stuff. But maybe that's a hint for the r600g driver and this bug
report.

Title:
  Wrong colors with Mesa 9.2 and Mesa 10.0 on Lubuntu 14.04 PowerPC

Status in Mesa:
  Confirmed
Status in mesa package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi all,

  I've tried Mesa 9.2.2-1 and 10.0.1 on Debian Sid, Lubuntu 13.10, and
  on Lubuntu 14.04. Unfortunately all have issued false colors in games.
  They appear to be ABGR instead of RGBA, thus blue becomes green, red
  becomes alpha etc.

  Mesa 8.0.5-4 and Mesa 9.1.6 have no color problem.

  The transitional solution is to install the old Mesa 8.0.X with "Force
  Version" with the Synaptic package manager on new distributions.

  We had a problem with wrong colors in SuperTuxKart 0.8 last year. The
  Irrlicht guys have released a little hack for Irrlicht on Linux PPC
  (http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=48577).
  They told me that is a driver bug, and that workaround costs
  performance and RAM. Unfortunately this workaround isn't suitable for
  Mesa 9.2 and higher. At this time we have to install Mesa 9.1.X and
  lower on new Linux distributions like Lubuntu 13.10, Lubuntu 14.04,
  Debian Sid etc. It would be nice to solve this issue because we don't
  need the workaround in the future.

  Hardware:

  AmigaOne X1000 (Nemo)
  PA Semi Dual-core PA6T-1682M, 1.8GHz PowerISA™ v2.04+ CPU
  "Xena" 500MHz XMOS XS1-L2 124
