Eric Faurot. Some infrastructure tweaks by me.
Appears to work just fine on a variety of display and architectures,
only issue so far is:
- garbled menus with gimp on 8 bits + RENDER (weird combination).
- firefox 2.0 unhappy on 8 bits displays (setting GDK_USE_XFT=0 solves this)
- improved palette handling (should be faster),
- reorganize the code to make workaround hooks easier,
- add a workaround for the 16bit r5g6b5 pixel case.
this fixes crashes on 16 bit displays with RENDER disabled
from maintainer Eric Faurot, thanks for writing this!
discussed with kurt, bernd, espie.
Currently supported output targets include the X Window System, and image
buffers. Other backends include OpenGL (through glitz), PostScript and
PDF file output.
