My "flashingTest" reports that:
It got a hardware surface (I should be writing directly to "video memory" 
accordingly to the SDL docs)
And the surface is double buffered.

The size of the surface is 800x480 16 bit (R5G6B5)
So there should be at least 1536000 bytes of video memory

I suppose the kernel display driver is open-source?
