<DIV class=RTE>    I'm afraid I can't find any VGA to LCD adapters easily online.  I would like to hack an Olympus Eyetrek and re-wire one of the LCD panels & backlight into a monocular HMD for a wearable.  I was thinking of wiring it directly into a Gumstix board, but I would consider wiring it into an adapter of some kind for use with a VGA output on something like the DT166.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>    Do you happen to know any links for the VGA to LCD that you mentioned?</DIV>

<DIV class=RTE>Thanks</DIV></div></html>
