I just downloaded Squeak3.2gamma5 and the 3.2.2 VM for Windows and played around with it. I tried different display depth and had some redraw problems in the 8 bit little endian one. See the attached gif-file. Note the Squeak mouse and the balloon help. The other display depths work fine so it is not a big problem for me. Still I wanted to let you know about this.
If I remember correctly it is best to set the display depth to the native format. However, I wonder how I can figure out whether my system uses a big or little endian format? I search the swiki and the mailing list archive but I could not find the answer. I would be thankful if anybody could explain that to me.
Is there a way for Squeak to find out what the native format is so that it could suggest the optimal setting to the user?
