I exchanged email with Alan Chan, the fellow I got the T60 from, and an expert on the QXGA (2048x1536) upgrade. He does this with hardware; a parallel port I2C driver, and an adapter to the display cable (along with a 3.3V supply). I may make a small EC board with a parallel port driver on one side and a display cable connector on the other.
I'm still partial to a program that does this, if we can do so safely. BTW, the proper I2C port is 0x60, not 0xA0 per the previous email. I'm also digging into the EDID bits, and I may have found out why the display is not suspending properly. The new code has bits set for features like active-off, suspend, and standby, which the original code does not. I suspect the driver assumes that it can keep the panel alive in low power mode during suspend, when it should be saving the screen bits on disk and shutting down properly. That could explain quite a lot.
