[ANNOUNCEMENT] Shadow Framebuffer Test 2

["Harold Hunt" <huntharo at msu dot edu>]

Alexander Gottwald pointed me in the direction using 'xdpyinfo' to
understand the visual formats being used by the X server.  Combined with my
examination of the XonX folks code I was able to get colors displaying
correctly for some screen depths, namely 16 and 32, and possibly 24 bits per
pixel.

I have a screen shot of my remote Gnome session running Netscape with
beautifully correct colors:

While I was fixing things I decided to throw in some dogfood: mouse wheel
scrolling now works :)  Of course, mouse wheeling under X has plenty of
caveats, so don't expect all of your applications to magically support the
wheel.

I have uploaded the new binaries and source code to my announcement page:

Please test the server and let me know how it works... I'd really like to
get some success mail before I go to sleep for the night.  Don't bother
telling me about failure cases though, cause I'm having a beer.  :)  Well,
actually I do want to know about the failure cases, but tell me tomorrow :)

Good luck and enjoy,

Harold L Hunt
