PSPLASH PPC Colors

PSPLASH PPC Colors

All,

Has anyone else noticed that the splash screen colors are wrong on PPC?

I installed a custom splash screen with modified colors.  It looks fine on qemuarm but on qemuppc the splash screen color are all wrong.   Whites and blacks are all yellow, blues are red etc.

Is there an endianness issue with the way that psplash make-image-header.sh creates the splash screen when targeting PPC?  Any ideas on how to fix it.

I'm not sure how to fix it, but it would seem that if these
pixel values are set up on a [little-endian] PC, they might
well be wrong on a [big-endian] PowerPC.

Does this happen on qemuppc or only on real hardware?

I have only tried it on qemuppc & qemuarm at this point.  The colors are all correct once busybox is running, so I suspect it is an edianness issue with images generated on a PC and then installed on a PPC.
