After trying everything else (hard-coding your EDID, and using a DVI
cable), I managed to find a board with Silicon Revision 1.0, and
it's failing more or less as you described:

	- 640x480 works
	- 1920x1080p fails

I also see those "timeout waiting for flip irq" messages whenever
switching to a resolution that doesn't function.

I'm not sure why, but it's probably time to grep through those pesky
tests for tapeout:
	imx_get_soc_revision() == IMX_CHIP_REVISION_1_0

TO 1.0 **did** work at 1080P in the older kernels.

Regards,


Eric
