Sure it can be done, but it would involve building a customized controller and would cost more than just buying a larger ready made TFT monitor. Notebook TFT displays are not standard VGA, they use a specialized graphics controller on the motherboard. It is a very complex thing to attempt and I'm not aware of anyone who has done it successfully. |

Use a notebook TFT as normal monitor
You can find some directions through Google (web or groups)
for example it was the text: ----------------------------------- Hi, I have built a dvi to lvds converter. However the picture still flickers and is off by 1 pixel. I think I am having trouble with the vsync. Is the vsync on the tmds line the same as on the analog port? Does anybody know if the vsync just does one pulse per frame, I think so but I am not sure... .....

Any help would be appreciated! Thanx in advance! JBK its been done, but is far from simple. A usable approach in some cases is to run remote desktop software, and fire up the laptop on linux live. This can get round hdd failure, floppy failure, cd failure, and some other laptop problems, but not all. NT |
