Ben,
You can use the patch I posted here recently to get QEMU to fix the BGR
problem internally. It doesn't have to be done at the VNC level - and
in fact, this way, you can use it on the Solaris native X server (or
even SunRays) in 24-bit color mode. I am attaching a new version of the
patch, complete with the detection logic (to make it automatic), against
today's CVS.
My original post:

The last (and fast) version:

An additional hack to get SDL to configure this automatically, without
needing the -bgr option on the command-line:

Maybe Fabrice or Paul can commit this since I addressed all the original
issues, but have yet to hear feedback on it. It's working fine for
myself and for my customers using SunRays for several weeks now. The
only issue is cirrus VGA in 16-bit mode seems to do some optimization
that bypasses the swapping code. regular VGA or cirrus VGA in 24-bit
mode (on the guest) works fine.
Regards,
Leo Reiter
