Little-endian Support #39

Open jfpiv opened 1 week ago

jfpiv commented 1 week ago

First off, I'd like to say thank you for developing this nifty library. It's been working great for me until I upgraded my system to Kubuntu 24.10. X servers are starting to disallow byte-swapping by default (see this blog post). Specifically, Xwayland now responds with Prohibited client endianess when a big-endian client (such as this one) attempts to connect.

The workaround is to pass +byteswappedclients when starting the X server, but unfortunately most Wayland compositors don't yet have an easy way to configure which options are passed to Xwayland. I think a better solution would be for this client to offer a little-endian mode if that isn't too troublesome to implement.

Thanks for the info. I think this is possible. I will have to think on it more.

I added a branch for little endian. It seems to work but there may still be issues. I noticed closing windows has an error. https://github.com/moaxcp/x11/pull/40
