[JT]->[Nico] I would prefer to do it with just libgfxinit but I don't have a remote idea in how to initialize the LVDS panel. [JT]->[Nico] With a desktop monitor libgfxinit just work in this system but not a sign of activity on the panel. [JT]->[Nico] I would like to know how to initialize the panel with just coreboot, so, please show me how. [JT]->[Subrata] But also would like to know how to do it the right way with the blob. > > > VBE: Getting information about VESA mode 4116 > > What mode is this 4116?

[JT]->[Subrata] Do I need to configure something else or create some code for this?

[JT] Halts with a "die" function because anyway if is not halted it will be halted by Tianocore with division by zero. [JT]->[Subrata] The LVDS panel supports 1024x768 18 and 24 bit but the LVDS cable only can transfer 18 bits. [JT]->[Subrata] The original FW support those LVDS resolutions too and I suppose VBIOS too. [JT]->[Subrata] At 1024x768 1-5-5-5 is the only setting that shows signs of panel initialization and shows output on the panel but halts. [JT] The other 2 1024x768 variants shows vertical stripes on the panel and gets halted anyway. [JT] This system doesn't dump the list of supported VESA modes even if I comment the "die" function.
