Display over HDMI is now working. Closing the bug for now. LCD support will be worked on when there is a request for LCD support.

[Adrian Taylor (ade-hohum)]

Awesome news! LCD support would be even better though... does this count as a 'request'?

[vishal (vishalbhoj)]

Adrian,

LCD support is a low priority for us currently. Landing team doesn't have the LCD panel to work on fixing the driver. We are open to contributions if someone in the community is ready to work on this issue.

[Adrian Taylor (ade-hohum)]

Thanks for the reply. I might just have somebody who may be able to work on this in about three weeks (no promises!) Could you give a commit reference where the HDMI support was fixed, so he knows where to start looking?
