Most likely this is for target-i386 emulation, such as for running Windows guests. That's my need for the patch anyway. In my case, I'm trying to get the colors to look right on a Sun Ray thin client served up from an x86_64 Linux box running the SRSS software from Sun (SunRay server basically.) The emulator sessions run Windows 2000/XP, hence the need for VGA fixes. If the O2's 24-bit display is similar to the Sun's (i.e. B/G/R, 24-bit depth, 32-bit pixel width), then the patch should fix the problem on the O2 as well when using PC hardware emulation (i.e. i386-softmmu) - Leo Reiter Thiemo Seufer wrote: > > FWIW, the SGI O2 has the same problem, I heard the Xorg server got > fixed recently to take this into account.
