[PD-ot] Hacking a laptop screen out

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Hey Ed,

As fun as it sounds, my guess is that its not feasible since the interface
between the graphics chip and the LCD might be proprietary.  SVGA is the
interface between the graphics chip and the outside world.  LCD screens are
cheap, and they come in all sorts of sizes.
