Thanks for the tip. But why have all FP modes 160 MHz? Does this make
sense? How can I then get to lower resolutions?

If I use CRT as display mode the Xserver starts in 800x600 mode,
unfortunately the TFT screen stays blank. I suppose that this mode is then
displayed on the CRT output (can't check at the moment).
