Jon, Thanks for the ideas. I had the same thoughts when I first saw the problem pop up. I don't think it's a progressive/interlaced problem though since the data dropping occurs every 3rd line. Nonetheless, I'll check into that front one more time just to put it to bed.
Keep the thoughts coming mailing-list, I'm going nuts over here!! :) BJ -----Original Message----- From: Jon Povey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 02, 2008 1:13 AM To: BJ Opp Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: Frame buffer memory organization On Thu, 2008-05-01 at 17:21 -0700, BJ Opp wrote: > Hi there.

Thanks It's not much of an idea, but: The fact it's vertical half screens sounds like something to do with interlaced/progressive buffer handling. The VPFE and VPBE can both be configured to deal with frame buffers either way, and I had a few entertaining days with vertically half-scaled video output etc. when the progressive/interlaced settings were out. I don't have experience with LCD output though. Good luck, -- Jon Povey, Design Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] | +44(0)1280 825983 Racelogic is a limited company registered in England.
