Following up my own post...
I've now tried VNC on a 16-bit Linux framebuffer, with a 16-bit Xvnc
server, and the colours are indeed wrong. Running on NetBSD-Amiga,
with a Picasso-II graphics card and my hacked-together driver, the
colours are correct. My guess is that there is a byte-ordering
problem somewhere (the Amiga is big-endian, PCs are little-endian).
Unfortunately, the hard disk in my new Linux box seems to have died
after only a couple of days use so I won't be able to investigate
any further for a while :-(
Regards,
George
