What you need exactly? The Modelines for XF86Config-4?

I pluged the flat panel and the only way i can boot into linux with it is to append video=ofonly in the boot process and then the ttys work but when ever I try to start X - it gives me errors.  I have found out that no matter what monitor (lcd or crt) when i use video=ofonly I can not run X.  I can't even get a boot process if I don't append any video info. 

If the modelines are missing, you can do that:
cd /proc/device-tree/
find . -name EDID

I read under xfree86.org that one does not need to put moodlines into the XF86Config-4 file.. X would do it automaticly.  But I don't know if I really need to put anything into the config file.

Alternatively you can send it to me if you want, i will parse it to you.

Here is my lcd XF86config-4 file
