We have a MipsEB machine and a video card which has a 2D BitBLT engine.

It would help a lot if you'd tell us what card you're using. Some of the
drivers are more endian clean then others.

We have got our own card and our own driver, but it looks like this problem

is driver independant, because patterns are maked up in different ways 
for BE.

Did you have a look at the XAA.HOWTO at:
 xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/xaa
especially the
  BIT_ORDER_IN_BYTE_MSBFIRST
  BIT_ORDER_IN_BYTE_LSBFIRST
flags?

Yes, but these flags specify bit ordering, not byte. And these flags 
work fine for

MipsEB.
