After a bit of a struggle, I finally got DMA to work well enough
that I get a stable image at 1024x768:

Note the absence of the horizontal stretching near the right edge I had
before DMA:

Here's a screenshot of a real-life application, taken on my PC and
displayed by my Ben:

The steep angle is an attempt to avoid the substantial darkening I
get at the top of the screen. Somehow my camera and the monitor seem
to be conspiring in the production of this effect ...


Full disclosure: only 1024x768 looks good at the moment. 800x600 has
a lot of artefacts and 640x480 even locks up the DMA controller,
requiring a reboot to fix it.
