It would be interesting to know if this bug also manifests
on x86 MacOSX. (Unfortunately if it's a PPC-only bug you're
rather on your own, since there's not really active development
of PPC OSX host support any more. If you're able to write
and submit a patch I can review and apply it, though...)

I will check on my Macbook x86 if needed ... 
i will first investigating why std mode on ppc have this issue with 32bit video modes on 16bit look like it is ok.
wmare have this isssue too. Not the cyrrus there everything is ok.
will ask some other guys to make test of qemu on other powermac machines and on linuxppc too.
About a patch ..not simple for my knowledge of coding but who know will see if some coders friend can help about.
In other way qemu on G5 is fast and usable .

PMM i found the problem it is because big endian sdl and was fixed in some other programams with this 
like i write before on  8 bit std no problem when i swap to 16 bit and up i have wrong colors.

Here a code example :

Yuck. Thanks for tracking that down. This sounds like it should
be fixed in SDL, though.

Peter no problem , if you need the code where i had been found that code 
ask i can share it without problem.
