TouchScreen Display is 20 pixels from left - 2.6.29rc8 kernel

Hi all.

I successfully got Debian and Xorg working on my Mini2440. I'm willing to
share, but you gotta help me out first.

You see, my Mini2440 is outputting an image that is 20 pixels away from the
edge, which messes up calibration settings and other things. This seems to
only happen with the 2.6.29rc8 kernel; when I used the qtopia distribution
that came with it, the screen was fitting "snuggly" (ie. you could see
everything, without black space).

Here's a photo:

I have added the mini2440=0tb parameter to the bootargs of uboot; however
this did not make any difference.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Hello,

Try with mini2440=3tb, that works for me. Yours is probably also shifted a
few pixels down or up, 3tb fixes that aswell.

It would be really nice if you would explain how you got Debian and Xorg
working :) I am running debian but can't get Xorg working at all, the
problem might be xorg.conf and something other...How much free memory do
you btw have when you are running X? What windowmanager are you using, I
can't open your picture.

To be honest, I'm using a Debian install that was found in another thread
on thaiembedded.net. Since that site in thai, I had to do the rounds of
translating it.

After I booted the distro, it was all in working order. I did apt-get
install xorg, which installed a heap of crap, like drivers and other crap.
I then removed the drivers that I didn't need (all except mouse, keyboard,
fbdev and evtouch). After that, I calibrated the touchscreen, and then did

Coburn@Mini2440~# X

And I was greeted with X on my display! No Window manager as of yet, but
it's a start! ;)

Perhaps I could upload the Debian root in a tar.gz file for you?

Hello,
At least it would be nice to see how the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file looks but
if you can upload the filesystem as tar.gz that would be great too. Maybe
mediafire.com or some other hosting site would work?

No worries, i'll paste bin the xorg.conf file, and upload the archive with
the root file system for you and anyone else who wants it.

It's currently got just the base Xorg installed; maybe install Xdm if you
want a login manager, etc...

As requested, here's my Xorg configuration file:

I'm making an archive of the root fs, and I will upload it when complete.
Cheers...
