Ah yes, I used the slightly different timings from the olimex 7" lcd
panel for olinuxino boards, and since those worked fine on my a23
tablet I never adjusted things. Here is a translation table:


CONFIG_VIDEO_LCD_MODE		fex value(s)

x				lcd_x
y				lcd_y
depth:18			lcd_frm = 1
pclk_khz			lcd_dclk_freq * 1000
hs				lcd_hv_hspw (with a minimum of 1)
vs				lcd_hv_vspw (with a minimum of 1)
le				lcd_hbp - hs
ri				lcd_ht - lcd_x - lcd_hbp
up				lcd_vbp - vs

On sun4i/sun5i/sun7i:
lo				(lcd_vt / 2) - lcd_y - lcd_vbp
On sun8i:
lo				lcd_vt - lcd_y - lcd_vbp

sync				0
mode				0

I notice that the Ippo_q8h_v5 fex uses 0 for lcd_hv_hspw and lcd_hv_vspw, which
is not a valid value as the register value contains hspw - 1, so the minimum is 1,
and looking at a register dump under android with my A23 tablet the value indeed
should be 1.

So if I'm not mistaken for the Ippo_q8h_v5 the timings should be:

CONFIG_VIDEO_LCD_MODE="x:800,y:480,depth:18,pclk_khz:33000,le:87,ri:168,up:31,lo:13,hs:1,vs:1,sync:0,vmode:0"

Regards,

Hans
