Description Saul Wold 2013-11-13 17:24:29 UTC 
With the recent removal of the omapfb git repo, we should convert the beagleboard configuration and kernel to use omap instead.
Comment 1 Saul Wold 2013-11-13 17:25:00 UTC 
It's a build blocker
Comment 2 Bruce Ashfield 2013-11-13 17:32:15 UTC 
I don't have any displays with a beagleboard to test any update .. so it would be done
blind. Which isn't a good thing. 

I'll see if I can find someone with the right hardware.
Comment 3 Robert Yang 2014-04-01 08:05:07 UTC 
We will test it based on the new kernel.
Comment 4 Robert Yang 2014-04-10 02:38:35 UTC 
We don't have the beaglebone board atm, we have to move it to 1.7.
Comment 5 Bruce Ashfield 2014-10-24 15:43:49 UTC 
moving to 1.8, when we can work on this with the newer 3.14 LTSI kernel.
Comment 6 Kevin Hao 2014-12-24 11:33:26 UTC 
The current x86-video-omap don't support am3358 yet. Denys Dmytriyenko has changed the video driver from xf86-video-omapfb to xf86-video-fbdev in commit a7d978cde201 ("beaglebone.conf: configuration updates").

Marking as verified as per last comment.
