If I pull an LCD panel out of an old laptop, how do I connect it to something small like a raspberry pi or beaglebone?

My understanding was that many lcd panels required custom drivers/firmware that was often embedded in the laptop/display board.




search for the part number on ebay and you'll probably find a driver board with vga or hdmi input, or a board that you can buy and ask the seller to program it for a specific display. Usually less than $30, but you'll need power, a case, etc..
