Part of what was happening here was that one of the DIV4 generated frequencies
( 0x00014170, 57375) was a closer match for the OLPC intended frequency
(57.273) then the original value (56.250), which in retrospect is probably
a better choice for ths display.
The DIV4 bit was really only intended to provide frequencies less then what
it could cleanly generate on its own. The datasheet says '
This bit is intended for generating frequencies below the PLL spec limit
of 15Mhz'. I don't think we really need divided signals > 24Mhz.
The new patch you sent out was good, and I'll ack it.
That said, Andres has some interesting behaviors in his report that
probably need to be looked at, but the different clock could
explain the white screen, especially with the LCD situation on the XO.
Thanks,
