- I have a question about IMAGE_BYTE_ODER and BITMAP_BIT_ORDER.
-
- i386/486 machines use IMAGE_BYTE_ORDER as LSBFirst. Now, I noticed
- that BITMAP_BIT_ORDER is defined to be LSBFirst as well for SYSV386.
- BITMAP_BIT_ORDER should be device dependant, right? So are VGA's
- really LSBFirst or is this not relevant if one is using only the
- vga256 driver? mfb certailny works faster with both BIT and BYTE
- order the same way.
-
- What happens if one wants to use two devices which use different
- BITMAP_BIT_ORDER in the same server? Is this possible at all?
-
- Hercules card is MSBFirst for BITMAP_BIT_ORDER. What is the correct
- order for VGA boards? Can I use both in the same server?
-
- Where can I find XFree86 source code, but not as patches, please?
