Hi,

Lately, I have observed an odd behviour in kernel 2.6.23.1 on a 800x480 TFT LCD 
unit.

The odd behviour as follows:
1) I am using Atmel AT91SAM9261 part. Circuit similar to that of AT91SAM9261EK 
evaluation board.

2) I am booting the kernel and mounting root filesystem through NFS. Bootloader 
used is UBoot 1.1.5.

3) During kernel startup, the LCD screen shows the "Penguin" logo with the 
other console output messages.

4) Everything looks fine up to this point. For example, the 0,0 position of 
image on LCD is proper and correct.

5) The root filesystem is then mounted through NFS and followed by a message 
"Freeing init memory: 106K". All this are fine.

6) During the execution of init scripts and the login prompt, the image on the 
screen starts shifting (either left, right, up or down). For example, the 0,0 
position of the LCD image is shifted. However, the image content is still 
correct.

7) After login, this image shift behaviour still exists during normal usage.

In contrast, when using kernel 2.6.21, the image shift behaviour was not 
observed before the login prompt. Image shift after the login does happen 
occasionally but not as frequent as that seen in 2.6.23.1.

Has anyone encountered a similar image shift issue ?

Is this issue related to kernel ? It appears to me that some timing causes the 
image shifting.

Appreciate any help and advises.

Thanks in advance.

Sim CK
