With the use of the DLSD LCD cable and the panel... I have managed to get this working. A 1440x960 15" panel on a 2004 15" PowerBook G4.
I suspect this is possible because Apple used a similar cable in the 17" PowerBooks, albeit with dual channel LVDS rather than single channel LVDS in the 15" and 12" PowerBooks. Apple used Dual Channel LVDS cables for both DLSD PowerBooks, as single channel LVDS wasn't going to cut it for panels with resolutions higher than 1280x854.
Cable P/N: 593-0136 REV.A
LCD P/N: LTN152W6-L01
Replace as you would normally with any other PowerBook G4 LCD panel and cable.
Enjoy.
Note that this 2004 PowerBook had its CPU overclocked to 1.67GHz. This may not be possible on most 2004 models as they usually have the 7447A chip and not the 7447B.
