I was actually quite suprised how hard it is.
The amount of different LCD and subsequent separated driver panels that are possible in configuration is absolutely huge.
To be honest I am a lot less worried about LCD working then keyboard, since in the worst case I would need to rewire the whole one manually.
But for LCD I will hopefully have everything needed after getting my specific LVDS driver board

A mapping for the keyboard matrix can be "discovered" by pressing all keys in sequence. There are lots of AVR-based projects that emulate an USB HID for a custom keyboard matrix or other input; for an example, see [1][2].
