+<alert type="warning">Please make sure that you use the LVDS variant of the module to use the LVDS interface!</alert>
+=== Enable the LVDS interface ====
+. Check if your module variant support LVDS:
+<code> BIOS Front Page > Device Manager > SIO TQmx86 > eDP to LVDS bridge = populated </code>
+. Enable the LVDS inteface in SIO TQMx86:
+<code>BIOS Front Page > Device Manager > SIO TQmx86 > LVDS Configuration =  <Enable></code>
+. Enable eDP to use the LVDS Interface (eDP-to-LVDS Bridge is used):
+<code>Setup Utility > Advanced (Tab) > Uncore Configuration > VBT Hook Configuration > LFP 1 Configuration =  <eDP></code>
+. Press the changes by pressing the key F10 on your keybaord
+\\
+\\
+=== Configure the LVDS interface ====
+The LVDS interface settings can be found on the following BIOS page:
+<code>BIOS Front Page > Device Manager > SIO TQmx86</code>
+^  Setting  ^  Description  ^
+| LVDS Color depth and data packing format | Change the color depth and data packing format acording to your display: \\ > VESA 24 bpp \\ > JEIDA 24 bpp  \\ > VESA and JEIDA 18 bpp |
+| LVDS dual/single mode | Select your LVDS bus mode: \\ > Single \\ > dual |
+| LVDS EDID information | EDID information includes display specific values like timing and resolution. They are normally located in an I2C EEPROM on the display or baseboard. The LVDS bridge offers you to emulate a set of different display resolutions without the need of an EEPROM. Turn EDID emulation on to use one of the display presets |
+More information can be found under [[en:general_information:tutorial:edid|Custom LVDS resolution (EDID)]].
