Bug Description

The X server has an old assumption that __powerpc__ is big endian. This was just fixed
upstream with this very simple patch which should be applied to ubuntu's version as well:

Hello Benjamin, or anyone else affected,

Accepted xorg-server into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/2:1.15.1-0ubuntu2.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
