LVDS on both D820 and D830

additionally, right now we use the drm kernel modules included
in kernel 2.6.23.14; goal is to use all-git, but drm-modules from 
2008-01-07 git make glxgears+<custom-glx-app> crash xorg.

bclinux  (small distribution tailored to application needs, based on (B)LFS)
linux kernel used: 2.6.23.14  (subject to constant change, normally 
current stable kernel release)

Already tested ABAT-20070619.tgz on 965GM+945GM:
=====================================================================
when used from inside a kde session, it passes all fine and skips one
(xstart, I'd guess). Afterwards, all is OK.

when used by itself, it passes all tests and skips none; unfortunately I
had to execute the abat.sh via ssh to get to know this, as the display
is seriously hosed afterwards.
(LVDS turned off, so no consoles visible; when vbetool-reviving it, it
shows rests of the xorg once present, but doesn't reset to be able to
display the consoles..)
