Here is the error message in Xorg.log:

Comment 1 Ross Burton 2012-12-10 13:46:59 UTC 
Yi Zhao, please edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to say "omap" instead of "omapfb" (Laurentiu, this is in meta-yocto-bsp) and try again.

To be honest we should be able to drop that file entirely.
Comment 2 Laurentiu Palcu 2012-12-12 09:49:06 UTC 
Yi Zhao, did you test the solution Ross provided? I am unable to test this since I don't have a beagleboard im my office...

I attached the detail log.
Comment 5 Ross Burton 2012-12-13 10:21:03 UTC 
The newer driver doesn't work on much hardware...  install xf86-video-omapfb and change xorg.conf back.  The "old" driver should compile and work now.
Comment 6 Ross Burton 2012-12-14 16:25:21 UTC 
Patch to use omapfb sent to poky@.
