Ok, thanks. Is there a way to "detect" the panel component size (via
EDID maybe) ? I'm actually surprised that the iMac G5 panel is only 6
bits but heh, I suppose Apple had to cut costs on this one... I don't
suppose it could be a chip misconfiguration in the firmware causing it
to emit 6 bits data only, could it ?

Thanks,
Ben.
