Sorry, must be some miscommunication.

Openchrome, unichrome and X.org "via" will power the RGB output (with good 
antialiasing). They do not power the LVDS transmitter.

X.org "vesa" and Openchrome+VBEModes power both the RGB output and LVDS 
transmitter. But the antialiasing is bad.

We need the LVDS transmitter to work with good antialiasing.

No. I will see if I can do this.

The monitor's native resolution is 1280x1024.

We are running at 1024x768. (And at this time, we hope to run at 
1024x768.)

I need to check on that.
