Hi,
this is old news if you follow IRC or Twitter, but it appears possible
to crank up the framebuffer resolution to "full HD" 1920x1080 32bpp on
M1 using milkymist-ng:

(The software drawing the bars and circles is the Antigrain Geometry
Lite demonstration in C++ - so at least some of C++ is working on LM32.
The text and menus are the monitor OSD.)
There are some issues that I have not investigated much, and which are
why I call this feature "experimental":
* it takes 6 ASMI slots and a fairly large pixel FIFO. Could be
possible to optimize/reduce those resource requirements with some
redesign.
* with those parameters, ISE reports that the timing constraints are
not met, even though it appears to work fine.
* the VGA DAC on M1 is spec'd to 140MHz only, we need to overclock it
to 148MHz here.
