Michel,
Problem fixed. Patching the line
*win++ = (*sha++)2;
in shadowUpdatePacked of shpacked.c made the trick. It was just adding
three characters!
Many thanks to Maarten and Daniel for their help though I didn't manage
to make it work with wfb. I don't know what I'm doing wrong on this
patch
Maarten,
Thanks again for your answer. I'm close as I have some parts of the
screen with the right colors but not all! More precisely:

- the problem around the transparent icons have disappeared

Maarten, Daniel,
Thanks for your answers. Yes, wfb is what I need for my temporary
solution. And it works as you advertise it without too much complexity
of implementation. That's great! I include the patch below in case
somebody wants to do something similar in the future.
Now, I'm still unsure
Several things i see.
1: you are throwing away bits in the colors
2: you should undo the mangling in the read function (the system
doesn't understand your strange layout)
3: the alpha channel is in the upper 8 bits on little endian systems
(typically) for A8R8G8B
4: read/write are used by more
Hello,
I'm using fbdev with xorg on a hardware prototype and unfortunately, the
video wires at the output of the chip have been mixed and swapped. To
make it work properly on this proto (I can't afford to do immediately
another revision), I need to shift and swap some bits for each RGB24
pixel.
You could hack wrapped fb support into the fbdev driver, but that will
only work for software rendering in X. And you'll loose some
performance because every pixel access goes through a wrapper
The vermillion driver has a simple wfb implementation
