[PATCH] meta-yocto-bsp: Enable xf86 modeset for beaglebone

[edwin.plauchu.camacho]

From: Edwin Plauchu <edwin.plauchu.camacho@intel.com>

The modesetting driver is better than fbdev driver. This patch is enabling so for beaglebone BSP (Without 3D accelaration).

It was tested upon BeagleBone Black Rev C.

About your question ... Yes it depends of a kernel patch ( */[PATCH] 
/**/meta-yocto-bsp: beaglebone: Enable drm for omap/* ) that was sent to 
linux-yocto@yoctoproject.org. Bruce Ashfield just confirmed this patch 
as merged.

Can you confirm that you've tested this on real hardware, and what boards
in particular you tested it on?

Also presumably this depends on the kernel patch?
