Hi
I have recently upgraded from SRSS 4.0 to 4.2. I am running Solaris 10

Everything is fine except just one thing. When I open a either a new or
existing document in Openoffice 3.2 and change the font colour, the
colour mapping is wrong. I choose blue font, the document displays red,
I choose turquoise1, it displays yellow. and so on. The chosen colour is
OK in the toolbar. If I print the page to a colour printer the colours
are correct
Colour mappings seem fine if I open up an image or browse the web.
If I go to the SunRay server console and open up a document then
OpenOffice works fine. This rules out
a problem with OpenOffice
No, just the opposite. It points the finger squarely at OpenOffice.
In the X server, different framebuffers are allowed to implement different
color packing orders, and inform the X server of the proper RGB byte masks to
use. Applications are required to query the server for the proper RGB mask, and
use it.
However, 90% of framebuffers these days implement an RGB byte order, whereas
Sun Ray implements a different order (legitimately). Sometimes, app writers get
lazy, and don't bother to query the mask and handle it as the X API specifies
they should. This works for most hardware these days, but breaks for exceptions
like Sun Ray. That's a bug in the application. In this case - OpenOffice.
They're not following the X API properly.

The problem points to the SunRay firmware upgrade ? or something else in
SRSS4.2 ?? as it was fine before
the upgrade.
The DTUs are Sunray 2 and 3.s both are effected.
Has anybody else seen this problem ?
