Tony,
It sounds reasonable, but the problem is that in the OMAP5910 documentation I 
can find no DMA_CCR equivalent in the LCD dedicated DMA channel register set, 
nor EN equivalent in the DMA_LCD_CTRL register.

I have had a look at *_lcd_dma_*, as you suggested, and found this:

        /*
         * Set the Enable bit only if an external controller is
         * connected. Otherwise the OMAP internal controller will
         * start the transfer when it gets enabled.
         */
        if (enable_1510_mode || !lcd_dma.ext_ctrl)
                return;

That may suggest checking for LCD controller, not DMA channel, enable bit 
could give an answer if LCD DMA is likely to be running or not. So maybe 
adding a function to drivers/video/omap/lcdc.c that would check for 
OMAP_LCDC_CONTROL:OMAP_LCDC_CTRL_LCD_EN, then invoke that function from 
omap_dma_running() in case of omap1510 could be a proper solution.

However, that would affect not only Amstrad Delta, but all 1510 based 
machines. Since there were no reports about broken LCD DMA on 1510, I'd 
rather get a confirmation from omap guys, more experienced than me, that the 
solution proposed is correct and should work not only for my Amstrad Delta 
before I get that way.

Thanks,
Janusz
