Success #2

Another cheap display from ebay, that I couldn't get to working for a long time

I finally decided to persevere and try to deduce the reasons why

Then I happened to find, through lots of searching a reference to the driver IC used on this display.  (link to data sheet below)

http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/pub/Main/CreativeZENXFi/DS-S6D0139V0-5Preliminary.pdf

I then had a look inside the LCDTFT.cpp library file to see if I could decode the byte sequences sent to this device, to determine why the display is so bright

The sequence below has been altered from the original, a couple of byte sequences have been commented out, but the most important one is the line

//    0x0002, 0x0700, //  field 0 b/c waveform xor waveform

Commenting out that line sorted my display perfectly. No more whitewash colours.

Hopefully this will help others with the same display
