all of the mass production boards (C2 and C3) are missing a number of passive parts, and I've only heard of 1 instance where someone successfully repopulated a board and got VGA out. From my experiences on a B4 (which just needed the VGA connector, no other components), its virtually impossible to get an image mirrored on VGA and LCD; external monitors don't play well with 1200x900 resolution and I couldn't get the LCD to work well outside of 1200x900. I was able to drive full screen video on a large LCD from the XO, so its not useless, but a USB VGA adaptor is probably a much easier solution. If you are still interested, you could start with the following references (although I didn't see any part numbers there). bobby http://www.olpcnews.com/hardware/screen/hacking_vga_adapter_xo_laptop.html http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Remote_display#Hacking_into_the_on-board_VGA_output _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
