If you can tell how you are doing this i will be interested.

I have really hires tiff files (>40MB) of 820E. I'll make a picture
of 820 RSN, because of the RP56LD (R6790-12) Rockwell 
(lose)modem setup. We can even produce real BOM list
for j820 ;-)

It is going to be dead slow ? I have looked at your patch.
Why do you need a static mapping for the framebuffer
and commented out the 'ioremap' code ? IMHO, it will
be great to have a real module that can be inserted and removed
on a running system (xres and yres as a parameter).
I'm not really familiar with the fbmem code, but is it really
necessary to modify the fbmem.c file for the initialization 
routines ?

What GPIO do you mean ? SA1100 or SA1101 ? I don't have one
"user friendly" program, but many of them, each for the specific register.
Some time ago i have posted the tables of the GPIO changes i 
was able to track. Look at them, and if you have some more
detailed and specific questions, let me know.

 Oleg.

PS. We have somewhat arbitrary value for the SA1100fb pixclock,
        if you can recalculate it, that will be great, too.
