The lack of LCD support is firtly nobody has dig into it. I did the port of intelfb from kernel 2.4 to kernel 2.6. I added TV-Out support for CH7011 tv-out encoder (rejected in official kernel tree). But i don't own LCD, so i can't do it. I think it should not be very difficult if you can find the datasheet of your TMDS encoder.

I'm using the buildin LCD should I get a LVDS specification instead?
Sylvain what do you think I should do to start this process?
is there any sample code of what have been done before? ( sample code
from other driver? maybe? )
Thanks

The intelfb driver can't modeset on non-CRT outputs as it requires using
the video BIOS to do it, this is due to the chip specs not being available
for all the different external TMDS and TV-out chips...

Not sure what you can do really...

Try add more info into my intelfb problem.

I think the problem is when I'm using LCD, intelfb get to
be fixed mode ( any one can explain to me why? I don't fully
understand ) so when I init directfb it just won't change to
the correct setting.
I take alot at the kernel driver, with intelfb fix mode it should
take the {kernel-source}/driver/video/modedb.c mdoe line then
apply it .... however at run time my reading from fbset is a little
bit different from all the modedb setting
In the directfb init debug message ... it fail in the Graphic
and show the modeline not find ( even I put that exact mode line
into the /etc/fb.modes
and also stay the pixelformat 8/16, 8/8, 8/0, 8/24
I try ggi also ... it fail with mode change also ...
so I think it is the driver problem... anyone get some idea where
should I look into this mode problem?
Thanks

Hi all
I'm using a samsung laptop Q20,
kernel using 2.6.12.2
intelfb able to install with the
follow kernel parm
video=intelfb:[EMAIL PROTECTED],accel=1,mtrr,vram=128,fixed,hwcursor=0 vga=792
since it is LCD ... by default it won't allow mode change
and I have to specifly vga=XXX for fixed mode

playing the cvs version of directfb
and I won't able to init core it say fb.mode not find
and this is my mode line output

mode "1024x768-60"
  # D: 62.360 MHz, H: 47.530 kHz, V: 60.013 Hz
  geometry 1024 768 1024 768 32
  timings 16036 128 32 16 4 128 4
  accel true
  rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,8/24
endmode

of course I can redirect to SDL layer and it will work ok ..
but is there any reason it can't get the mode?
any hints?
Thanks
