Howdy,

Diffed the configs for 3.4.2-3 and 3.5.2-3.

The 3.4 kernel had these kernel config's:

CONFIG_PANEL_DVI=m
CONFIG_SND_OMAP_SOC_HDMI=y
CONFIG_SND_OMAP_SOC_OMAP4_HDMI=y

Could that contribute to the lack of HDMI/DVI-D on pandaboard on the more recent kernels?
Possibly in addition to the omapdrm module not loading during boot?

Thanks
