Udlfb currently has no support for reading or writing GPIOs (from kernel or
user space). You'd have to add that to udlfb.

I'm not sure, actually.  I've only tested down to modes that standard
monitors can do (640x480).

I suspect they'll work, but note that for panels that don't report EDID,
you'll have to modify udlfb to set the specific timings you need (because
EDID reading is not 100% reliable, I've also thought for other reasons about
enhancing the udlfb's sysfs edid interface to allow a user mode entity to
supply a pre-canned edid -- if so, that would become another option that
wouldn't require actual per-mode hacks to udlfb)

Best wishes,
Bernie
