How to enable LVDS output on Apalis IMX6 with Apalis Evaluation board

I just received the Apalis IMX6 module and the Apalis Evaluation board.

I plugged the module into the board and got UART working. The board is running kernel version 3.10. I then attached my monitor to the lvds output, rebooted the system into the bootloader and paused booting. I set the env variable “vidargs” to “video=mxcfb0:dev=ldb ldb=dul0”.

I’ve since then tried a number of different configurations but never managed to get the display to to show anything - not even backlight.

I had honestly expected the configuration to work out of the box. After hacking on it for a day I still have not gotten it to work.

Specifically I’m trying to get a dual lvds display up and running, 1920x1080@60. Please let me know what additional information I need to supply or set up for the system to work.

Thanks,
