Success!
After being the first to take the plunge on this mod many, many moons ago... I finally have a 1920x1200 display in my old MacBook Pro running OS X beautifully.
I'm using the latest revision L04 Samsung panel (so if you guys are interested in whatever the updates are in this panel, it works). Right now I don't have brightness control working, but that's alright. The screen is beautiful. Picked up a brand new one off ZTronics on eBay. Can't speak highly enough of the quality/price of the screen.
I'll have to browse the thread a bit to see how the Samsung users got brightness working
Oh, and one more thing... the screen doesn't fit snugly in my display casing (the left side of the screen for some reason is lower than the right side, making the display a bit whacky). I'll have to jam a piece of paper in the casing next time I open it (probably to swap it into a newer MBP -- screw LED, I want 1920x1200).
Many, many thanks to thomaschaos for his great work on the ATIinject module that saved the day :]
