Description

```
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download & install the pre-built images on an Gumstix Overo Tide with
Palo35, LCD.
2. Edit the boot.scr file to include lcd=35 instead of lcd=43
3. Boot the system

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The display should render. Instead, the display is garbled and you can make out
what seems to be the colours of the unlock screen.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The latest build from: http://cumulus.gumstix.org/images/android/current/

Please provide any additional information below.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am able to get the stock Armstrong OS
from Gumstix running on both the 4.3 and 3.5" LCD's (Palo43 and Palo35)
respectively. But Android only seems to work on the 4.3" LCD, the 3.5" LCD does
not display correctly.

I've already tried separate boards and it seems to be an issue with the display
driver or settings used to initialize it.

Research direction

Reproduce the problem with the pre-built Android image on a Gumstix Overo Tide with the Palo35 LCD, using boot.scr with lcd=35; compare it with the working Palo43 setup. Investigate the display driver or initialization settings mentioned in the report. Done means Android renders correctly on the 3.5-inch LCD without garbled output.
