Thanks, I will try it.

In the meantime, I have another possibly display-related query.  My 
GTA04 takes more than 2 minutes to boot, which is longer than I've seen 
e.g. in the youtube video.  dmesg shows a very large corresponding time 
gap:

...
[   25.807617] Bluetooth: SCO (Voice Link) ver 0.6
[   25.812194] Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized
[  131.530853] OMAPFB: pan_display(0)
[  131.530853] OMAPFB: setcmap
...

Does this indicate a problem?

Thanks,
