Following up to this - sorry, my bad habit again! - this was actually caused 
by a slip-up when decoding values and showing them on the screen. In fact, the 
picture *is* properly aligned.

Now all I have to do is to try and get fb-drv working and then I can run the 
spectrum example. But I've updated the patches in the unlikely case that 
anyone else is really interested.
