Pixel doubling is a feature of built in Epson's LCD driver chip. It exists in version used in n770 as well as in n800. That's if You talk about this way to get pixel doubled - I'm not familiar with other possible ways to do that.

No, it really doubles (with interpolation) the rectangular window transferred from main memory to video memory. That way you can have some parts of screen with normal pixels and some with doubled. With 770 the destination rectangle needs to be exactly 2x, N8x0 can scale (and interpolate) in almost any ratio.

It is not related to clocks driving the display in any way, video memory in epson chip is always in full 800x480 resolution.

However from the datasheet it looks like the chip in N8x0 can suport half resolution but this feature is not currently used. If I understand it correctly one could than have more real 400x240 frames inside videomemory and let it double while sending from videomemory to the LCD. This could allow double buffering and solve tearing effect but can only work in fullscreen and is tricky to set up and then switch back to 800x480 once you exit fullscreen. Pixel doubling or scaling to full 800x480 is easier to use.

I flashed this one and it doesn't seem to work too well. UKMP and Skype don't work? Anyone had luck with this HE version or should I reflash the 46-3?? I also had a difficult time flashing because when you download the flasher and HE file, they have commas in their name which I left out because I didn't notice the commas.......bah!!!!
I've been using this version for a month now. I haven't installed UKMP. I did install Skype, tried logging in and it worked but didnt try to make any calls. This "latest" version doesn't seem to be as stable as 46-3 HOWEVER, I cannot say for sure because I used 46-3 under different conditions then I am now with this version.
