your picture is way to large (about 4 times larger than the effective 
picture...) I removed it in this reply

However, I refer to it: it clearly shows it is using 32 bits per pixel 
at the server side. If you want the bgr888, then you'd better ask for 32 
bits. In the pixel format it is using 16 bits per pixel. I think this is 
due to negociating somewhere on the line. It is possible that the server 
can only handle 8, 16 and 32 bits. If 24 bits is configured, negotiation 
results in 16 bits. It is also possible something else on the line makes 
the negotiation result in the 16 bits rgb565.

If you want colordepth, go for 32 bits.
