Thanks for the suggestion. Will try F18 next.

I´m new with ARM embedded boards. I guess my question could be rephrased as
"is there anything like a BIOS in the Pandaboard where the default mode at
boot for its HDMI port could be set?".

I mean... like on some notebooks or netbooks you could go into the bios and
select vga output, internal LCD, or both. That was stored on CMOS memory.
On embedded ARM boards is there such a nonvolatile memory space to store
default video settings at init time before OS loads?
