|     What does the "noise" look like, is it also the top-down block of
static
|     "random" pixels described on the trac
|
|     https://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/2217
|
|     or "jazzy" moving pixels, or all over the screen, or in a defined
|     invalidated area not redrawn or what?
|
|
| The screen is full of random pixels, but not uniform as in the trac
| ticket snapshot.

Hm that guy had an encrypted FS which was suspected as the source of the
entropy, because it's actually real tough to just happen across good
random-looking data coming out of nowhere.  So this also makes it sound
like SD Card blocks end up in the framebuffer region, in your case
they'll full of more normally distributed file contents maybe.

Is the random part of the screen always a linear set of vertical lines?
~ Ie, never a 64 x 64 or such pixel square in its own world but always a
linear block of framebuffer memory?
