i asked on the linux igfx mailinglist about this FDI C
thing... i'll report back when theres an answer.

display= is really an attribute was ment to come from
automatically reading edid information. its not a property
of the monitor, but rather what the port number of your
graphics card is.

if snarfing edid works, we wont need vgadb. on my thinkpad,
i just do:

aux/vga -m auto -l 1280x800x32

it automatically finds the monitor, edid and port from that.
no vgadb neccesary.
