The old drivers made the screen all white, to get it to work I had to patch the drivers so they didn't setup the LCD, an then use the VESA framebuffer to setup the display.
I have no experience in this but the VESA framebuffer (as far as I know) uses the BIOS to setup the LCD and that works for me, any chance the same can be done with these drivers? or have I gotten it all wrong?
