About fixing remaining LCD panels on 5345:
- 'polarity' is mentioned in coreboot log (cbmem -c). compare output (with working and non-working panel). (and see the other notes in docs/future/index.html)
- phcoder says: hint for T60: it might be that failing panels are 8bpc
- fchmmr: what does 8bpc mean? And what do you think the other (non-failing) panel are?
- phcoder: 6bpc. bits per colour. May also be reffered as 18-bit vs 24-bit panels
- phcoder: just collect EDIDs from failing and working panels

There was a theory that working panels are + 6bpc (bits per colour) and nonworking are + 8bpc, but all EDIDs that we have here are + for 6bpc panels.

We should compare coreboot logs + (from cbmem -c from systems with + working and nonworking panels.

How to dump EDID:

# apt-get install i2c-tools
# modprobe i2c-dev
