Yes, that's how I did. I ran LE and BE guests with "qemu -vga std" and 
different depths.

OK. I will see how I can extend the tests. But, are you suggesting I should
be using the foreign endian framework for the frame buffer ?

The variables used to calculate "value" are in host endian order. It should
be fine.

Thanks,
