Good to know that i could help out with this and it was really fun to do
so :)

Cool, the fact that this wasn't tested on an rv670 before (AFAIK), but
still works out of the box shows that the assumptions i made about the
hardware are correct. 

Is the LVDS problem HDMI related, or does it make problems on the Sony
TV anyway?

These option wasn't used for so much anyway, i just wanted to have a
global switch to turn everything off in case of a problem. I think we
can remove this if there are no regressions related to this patch.

That was my intention anyway, but after the discussion about xrandr
connector names started i didn't want do stick my nose into code
properly changing in the near future.

That's something i also had in mind, and there are other options in the
HDMI info packets that are quite interesting, like colormetry (you can
set the black/white reference value) or aspect ratio (some DLP
Projectors can actually switch between 16:9,4:3 and 9:16,3:4 without
loss of luminescence and my TV switches between 16:9 and 4:3 when i set
this option by adding black borders).

I will keep working on this in the near future. And by the way is
anybody else working on EEDID support? I know this really doesn't belong
into radeonhd, but since x server 1.5.0 we have the raw EEDID data right
in front of us, with no help from x to decode this.

Bye, Christian.

PS: Since my last convincement worked so good: Getting the 3D/xvideo
support released would really make a difference between the radeonhd and
radeon driver :)
