It's probably just that you tested
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=summary
while I'm talking about
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git;a=summary
which is pretty much what linus tree will look like after the next merge window 
and includes
http://github.com/schandinat/linux-2.6/tree/viafb-next

I think the most relevant patch in it concerning the issue you mentioned is
http://github.com/schandinat/linux-2.6/commit/e029ab0d02b94d633d8e82a46dfdb7fd94a62216
at least that was the point in time where I got rid of the old OLPC-specific 
patch which disabled tmds and lvds identification.
(there still is a big diff between linus tree and the XO 1.5 tree I run but at 
least viafb should work well after the next merge window)


Thanks,
