	Well, I've tried to keep adding to the bug report at:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29141

	with various things that I've tried, though I've tried so many things 
that I've lost track a bit, and that bug report is already too confusing and 
messy :(.

	The chip documentation is at:

http://intellinuxgraphics.org/documentation.html

	and there is a useful "intel_reg_dumper" command ( which I can't remember 
where it came from, but should be easy enough to find. )

	Having said that, I've just seen Xavier's comment that Zhao Yakui's patch 
works for the 1600x900 panel, so when I get a chance I'll have a look at that 
one again ( maybe today ) and see if I can see what it is that causes that 
panel to work with that patch.

Adam.
