As the CPU itself is the same on both cards (Mini2440 and Micro2440) they also 
should act the same.
But there is always the risk of small details which are different...

Do not use older kernels from my BSP. If the 3.4.4 does not work, even the 
older ones will not work. It seems the kernel code for the AT070TN83 is 
broken since the beginning.

Then you should download their kernel[1] and try it instead of one from my 
BSP. If that will work for you and your display, we can take a look to the 
differences and find a solution for more recent kernel revisions.
