The virtio-gpu resource formats are defined by byte order in memory, while vt(4) and the X server (through vt_fb and the fb mmap) write native 32-bit 0x00RRGGBB pixels into the shadow framebuffer. On a big-endian guest such as powerpc64 those pixels land in memory as 00 RR GG BB, which the host interprets under B8G8R8X8 with red and blue swapped and the padding byte taken as blue: white renders yellow and blue renders black.
Request X8R8G8B8 on big-endian guests instead, which is also what the Linux driver does (DRM_FORMAT_HOST_XRGB8888). Little-endian guests are unchanged.
