I have since figured out a little bit more.

The motherboard I've been using is a development board. This board can support a flat panel display that would be suitable for a laptop.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to convince the board that it doesn't have a laptop LCD installed. On Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS (which I switched to because I sorta prefer LTS) I was able to tell Xorg that I didn't want it to use the nonexistent "laptop" display.

I believe all the LVDS errors are from the software trying to query this nonexistent display and failing.

Further, I believe that the newer kernels/distributions are making little or no attempt to use the external display because of these problems.

Should I file a bug against 12.04?
