I don't think so, but it could be, I think the scrolling code is just
very inefficient. Feel free to poke things a bit around this, ARM
cache management is not my forte.

He he, your in luck I've been working on LCD support the last few days,
and I just got the olimex 7" lcd running on olimex boards :)

If you use my current wip tree:

https://github.com/jwrdegoede/u-boot-sunxi/tree/sunxi-wip

And build for the A20-OLinuXino_MICRO-lcd7_defconfig things should
just work, assuming you are using the standard olimex 7" lcd with
a standard 40 pins pata cable.

Note in order for the kernel to take over the fb you need a small
kernel patch on top of 3.19, I've attached the patch.

Regards,

Hans
