I fetched this branch which contains 35 patches on top of 2.6.38-rc4.
After fixing some conflict, I applied these 35 patches on our Ubuntu
ti-omap-dev kernel. With built-in the DSS2 driver and GENERIC_DPI
driver, kernel boots fine on my Panda with Ubuntu GUI. But I have to
set the kernel boot command args with omapfb.mode=dvi:1024x768MR-24 at 60
omapdss.def_disp=dvi, pointed out by Sebastien. Without this bootargs,
no graphic at all. so as Robert concerned, EDID detection doesn't
work. Does that related to I2C driver? I2C driver always tell me
timeout in dmesg.

Thanks a lot,
