Hello!

I had the same problem, or still have if you will, with endianess but with 
SMI722. Quick and easy, but still a bit slow solution is to deny all SW 
access to the framebuffer and swap the  bytes correctly in 
UploadTo/DownloadFrom-screen functions. Needless to say this requires EXA to 
work. However this just plain sucks for drawing non accelerated graphics, but 
one could do some imaginative juggling of the fb-layers ROP variables to fix 
that.

Now that I've almost finished renovation/moving and the ISP finally managed to 
connect the cables I can start to figuring out where/how to put my Q&D hacks.
