Hey mebbe the wrong place but should be roughly right.

I read an Old archived forum from *Voided Warranty* talking about LCDs. Any Bonebox style Boneheads can stay out of this one, We aint gonna believe you if you cant prove it. Anyway LCD screens are now cheap but really REALLY bulky. This is probs because their hardware is mounted inside them but Laptop screens are thin. Its getting to the point now where it should technically be possible to use a LCD monitor with a damaged membrane and replace that with a laptop panel right? For my home-made PC (I'm talking literally, the base board is an amiga A600 modded to a 220mhz motorola coldfire) And im trying to work out how to run a laptop LCD panel on it (and how to power it from batteries, because TOMATO is gonna be a laptop, even if its very very big) The port on the back is a custom RGB one which is basically VGA compatible after a hack to the Sync channels. I have two goals. One: the hack the mainboard to replace the graphics system with a more powerful one, even if it means wiring up individual lines, and more importantly two: getting a screen installed. HELP! Someone had an Idea with a DVI port interface, and bonebox talked about standard ports having analogue sections. This would account for the nine pins missing off some peoples connectors i guess though I dont get how the tech would work. All I have are Pin-Outs for standard NEC TFT screens:
Pin No. Symbol Function
01 GND Ground
02 DCLK Dot clock
03 GND Ground
04 Hsync Horizontal sync
05 Vsync Vertical sync
06 GND Ground
07 GND Ground
08 GND Ground
09 R0 Red data (LSB)
10 R1 Red data
11 R2 Red data
12 GND Ground
13 R3 Red data
14 R4 Red data
15 R5 Red data (MSB)
16 GND Ground
17 GND Ground
18 GND Ground
19 G0 Green data (LSB)
20 G1 Green data
21 G2 Green data
22 GND Ground
23 G3 Green data
24 G4 Green data
25 G5 Green data (MSB)
26 GND Ground
27 GND Ground
28 GND Ground
29 B0 Blue data (LSB)
30 B1 Blue data
31 B2 Blue data
32 GND Ground
33 B3 Blue data
34 B4 Blue data
35 B5 Blue data (MSB)
36 GND Ground
37 DE Data / Display enable
38 Vcc 3.3 v
39 Vcc 3.3 v
40 Vcc 3.3 v
Theres one more pin, which is 41: MODE Timing mode select, which is listed as H=Fixed mode, or L /open (assume it means not connected) = DE mode

Anyone got any Ideas?
