LCD controller issue

Hi,

I'm running an 800x600 OLED display using the at91sam9263 micro and an AD7125 DAC. Everything seems to work, although any significant activity on the display causes an error in the LCDC (display flashes, "IT LCDC" is re-printed to the debug serial port). Moving the mouse around doesn't cause this, although right clicking on the desktop to bring up the menu does. Moving between items on this menu sometimes causes the problem.

Any ideas? I'm thinking it's possibly a memory problem. I'm not using directdraw, so it shouldn't matter that my VRAM height isn't more than double my display height?

My lcdc.reg:

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION]
   "Angle"=dword:0


; Video driver settings
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Display\LCDC]
;800x600x16

   "Height"=dword:258             ; Screen heigth in pixel

   "VRAMWidthInPixel"=dword:400   ; Frame buffer width in pixel (must be at least screen width value and also must match the 2DGE settings. keeping it aligned on 4 bytes allows not to care about the later)
   "VRAMHeightInPixel"=dword:400 ; Frame buffer heigth in pixel (must be at least screen height and more than twice for directdraw)
   "VRAMaddress"=dword:23e00000    ; Frame buffer location. Here allocate the video memory in SDRAM
   "VRAMBusWidth"=dword:20         ; SDRAM has a 32-bits bus width

Ok I've worked this out - the pixel clock was too high, and I was getting FIFO underflows.
