You might want to talk to Advantage Six directly on that one: I seem to
recall that the SM501 video chip-set has an LCD controller built-in, and
you may be better off using that output rather than then VGA.  (I'm
assuming that the LVDS is sent to a pin-out somewhere.)  Thus, you'd want
A6 to make you A9s with this exposed on the casework to avoid voiding any
warranties.

I've looked into it too; although only really as a mechanism to dump
photos off my camera while away from home, and provide some interface for
viewing/deleting/etc them.  Alas, I think the CPU might be a little too
puny for doing RAW conversions for this.

If you make any progress on this - I'm interested.

B.
