Fixed with r29764.

I took a quick look in there out of curiosity and I found it odd that it does no clipping of drawing parameters.

Michael, can you explain in more detail what you found in the code?
Another hint might be  FS#11997 . As the above image shows a working status bar I am not covinced that this is a driver issue. Maybe it is an effect of viewports?

MikeS commented on 2011-03-13 08:12

Just that really. I don’t know the code very well but other drivers clip and out of range parameters would cause bad register values as well as invalid framebuffer addresses. My own initial strategy would be to just put some clipping code in there and see since code assumes the driver will clip the screen updates. If that didn’t solve the problem, I’d still leave the clipping code there since then you know that won’t be a continuing possibility and keep trying whatever came to mind.

Two more reports:

The issue could be reproduced and the underlying cause was identified as insufficient voltage supply of the LCD. A voltage supply of 2.8V was tested and verified to be sufficient for one of the users with a problematic iPod nano 2G.

The change which lowered the voltage supply from 3.0V (Apple OF) to 2.6V (svn before r29764) was submitted to get rid of a buzz noise that the LCD is generating. With the new 2.8V setting this buzz is still significantly lower as with Apple OF.
