Great!

Two possible solutions:

  - Does it help if you lower the mclk?
  - Perhaps the display FIFO parameters have to take into account the
    stretching? At least for the horizontal stretching this sounds logical to
    me, i.e. try to use

    xclks_per_row = (pll->mclk_fb_div*pll->vclk_post_div_real*64*hstretch<<11)/
		    (pll->vclk_fb_div*pll->mclk_post_div_real*bpp);

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
