Here's an answer that you're probably not going to be happy with:
(This is verbatim from John Langner, who always speaks the truth)
"The "display image" module always expects images in the same order:
4 bytes per pixel A, R, G, B
It does any necessay conversion from this standard order to
whatever the particular X server requires."
AVS images are the same from machine to machine regardless of
endieness. This decision was made for compatibility reasons,
not (obviously) performance ones.
