viafb on Clevo M5x0V laptop (+VT1631L)

Hello,
I've got a Clevo M5x0V laptop which has VIA PM800 chipset (1106:3118) and
1280x768 LCD panel connected using VT1631L LVDS transmitter. There's a
schematic of this laptop available on the web which shows that VT1631L's I2C
port is not connected anywhere...

viafb does not work properly - LCD panel (and backlight) is turned off upon
module load and there's 640x480 signal on VGA connector (even when monitor
was not connected during module load).

Looking at the code, there's almost nothing for VT1631. What needs to be done
in order for the LCD to work? Xorg seems to work using openchrome (but it is
not able to restore the card on resume from S3):
(II) CHROME(0): Unable to get panel size from EDID. Return code: 0
(II) CHROME(0): ViaPanelGetNativeModeFromScratchPad
(II) CHROME(0): Native Panel Resolution is 1280x768
