Yes, changing the data_lines should be enough. Are you sure you changed
the correct board file? =)

The highest bits are used for the red color, so if you get no red, it
sounds to me like OMAP is trying to use 24bit output.

Another thing that comes to my mind is pin-muxing. The DSS  pins have to
be muxed in mode0. But most likely they already are, if you get an image
on the LCD.
