[QUOTE="tonyhill, post: 197905"] [b]Adventures in Linux[/b] Well, here's a little update on the progress of this project. I installed Linux onto the powerbook to see if there was something funny going on with the Mac OS X Nvidia driver. After starting up the X server, there was no display on the LCD, only on the external monitor. So, I looked at /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and found that indeed, the nv driver did not get an EDID response from the LCD. The same was true of the framebuffer driver that is loaded upon booting. So, this issue is not software, but rather hardware. Does anyone know if there is a way to force an LCD to return EDID information? Alternatively, does anyone know how to make either Mac OS X or Linux display to a screen in spite of no EDID response? Any more ideas? [/QUOTE]
