Maybe add here:

------>8------
If the buffer crosses a 4 MiB boundary the pixels that are "out of
bounds" just appear white on the display.
------>8------

I didn't check if the counter overflows and than picks up data from 4
MiB below the expected memory, but I would be surprised if I had only
0xff there.

Best regards
