Some Obscure Problem

Hello,

I tried 8 bit depth(Xorg uses PSEUDOCOLOR) and no success. But my working area is a xterm:
background - white, foreground - black(Characters). So if my assumptations are correct, depth is
not problem in this case. The problem is pixel locations. I didnt put e.g. the pixel which has
(50,50) coordinate to the correct point in the frame buffer. Is this a correct approach to the
problem?

Secondly, If my card supports byte switching, I should do that in SMI_MapMem() function before the
the first [in|out][16/32] call? I am asking this because I didnt do any video driver work before and
dont know Xorg stuff much.(My first tries) Although there are other function calls before
SMI_MemMap(), I dont think they do in/out but I want to be consistent with general guidelines before
doing it... 

Thanks in advance...
