                                About fixing remaining LCD panels on 5345:<br/>
-                               'polarity' is mentioned in coreboot log (cbmem 
-c). compare output (with working and non-working panel). (and see the other 
notes in docs/future/index.html)<br/>
-                               phcoder says: hint for T60: it might be that 
failing panels are 8bpc<br/>
-                               fchmmr: what does 8bpc mean? And what do you 
think the other (non-failing) panel are?<br/>
-                               phcoder: 6bpc. bits per colour. May also be 
reffered as 18-bit vs 24-bit panels<br/>
-                               phcoder: just collect EDIDs from failing and 
working panels<br/>
+                               'polarity' is mentioned in coreboot log (cbmem 
-c). compare output (with working and non-working panel). (and see the other 
notes in docs/future/index.html)</p>
+                        <p>There was a theory that working panels are
+                         6bpc (bits per colour) and nonworking are
+                         8bpc, but all EDIDs that we have here are
+                         for 6bpc panels.</p>
+                        <p>We should compare coreboot logs
+                          (from <code>cbmem -c</code> from systems with
+                          working and nonworking panels.</p>
+                        <p>How to dump EDID:</p>
                                # <b>apt-get install i2c-tools</b><br/>
                                # <b>modprobe i2c-dev</b><br/>
                                Find out the correct ID to use:<br/>
