It sounds to me like the problem is with the byte ordering of the color
data sent to the X server. Look around for an #ifdef AIX in that type of
thing, as AIX uses the same byte ordering as Intel for its graphics color data.
You might be able to just get away with a
#if defined(AIX) || defined(__FreeBSD__). Good luck.
