[Gerald Nunn <gnunn@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Boris,

Everything you need is in this review, it has my initial postings on the
PMD along with some follow up from Gyhor.

http://forum.notebookreview.com/sony/702034-sony-vaio-z-2012-review-linux-perspective.html

I use the PMD HDMI with an external monitor via the Radeon driver, it works
fine as long as you have kernel 3.7 or later or apply some patches to 3.6
