I experimented a bit more with the timing and tried to achieve higher
resolutions. Here's an 800x600 mode:

Here's 1024x768 using the same pixel clock (37.3 MHz):

The artefacts at the right border are FIFO underruns: the CPU cannot
copy data fast enough to the MMC controller to keep up with the
pixel clock. This is more visible in the following image:

This is with a 42 MHz pixel clock. The FIFO underruns cause all sorts
of artefacts.
Full disclosure: thsse high-res modes don't yet work as well as the
screenshots suggest: if I try to display an image with more white
pixels, the monitor still gets confused.
