Unfortunately Genesi are still working on an open driver that can be
upstreamed for 3.x on the iMX51. I'm not sure if they'll be able to get
it out in time for either F17 or openSUSE 12.2. We (openSUSE) can only
get a display working if we use the old 2.6.x kernel and even then use
their kernel tree. 

Half the issue is Freescale have shifted all their focus onto the iMX6
and so Genesi are fighting uphill, but they are making progress.

Andy
