    I think you may be in the same boat as those trying to use laptop screens to connect to their vga as well..

    Even more so, cause PDA screens are also touch sensitive.

    If you do figure it out let us know, cause i could come up with a boat load of ideas to use those in modding projects

    GOOD LUCK!!

    That's because laptops use a different interface than VGA and DVI. If I remember correctly they use a LVDS interface.

    Yep.. And for some reason a most VGA to LVDS controller cost more then a whole LCD monitor.. I still don't quite understand that one yet.. heh

    Yeah i have a good few ideas for it too....

    One of them would be to use the touch screen myself if i could get that implemented too....
