QVGA TFT with ILI9341 driver not displaying with FRDM-k64F

I have a QVGA TFT module with a ILI9341 driver that I got on ebay, and I'm trying to get it to work on the frdm-K64F. I tried using the TFT_Test_ILI9341 program, but all it does is clear the screen from white to black, with a single red pixel at 0, 0. I have tried it with success on an Arduino, so it is not a hardware problem. I had to change the SPI format from (8, 3) to (8, 0), but except for that, I haven't made any changes to the library or the program. Can anyone give me some ideas?
