Oh, and another reason... the u-boot video settings are totally and utterly buggered to the point that it doesn't produce correct timings, and it seems that u-boot people have zero interest in fixing that, so u-boot mainline is basically refusing to fix this - another reason to stay away from it. (1024x768 @ 60Hz produces 70Hz refresh on iMX6Q here - I've seen it produce 51Hz on iMX6S, both of which are far enough out that lots of display devices will not accept it as a valid signal.) -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: 5.8Mbps down 500kbps up.
