VBIOS, Driver Compatibility, and Data Dependencies

The Intel^® Embedded Media and Graphics Driver does not depend on any data from the VBIOS, and will either use driver settings or select default values for the attached displays. This allows the driver to properly operate with incompatible BIOS or BIOS replacements.

The Intel^® Embedded Media and Graphics Driver will retrieve settings, such as panel ID and other display settings from the Embedded VBIOS. The Embedded VBIOS can configure display timings that can also be used for the Intel^® Embedded Media and Graphics Driver.

In the current release, Intel^® EMGD supports only pre-configured 10x7 resolution and EDID-detected 13x7 resolutions on an internal LVDS panel.
