Hi,

There are a couple of options here.

The previous kernel with HDMI video output was 3.2.7x5.

I built and installed this new kernel with this xorg.conf, it does not
work.
Section "Device"
         Identifier      "fb0"
         Driver "omapfb"
         Option "fb" "/dev/fb0"

Looks like the problem below was buffer allocation. You could use omapdrm instead of omapfb which should allocate buffers successfully. I think the omapdrm drivers was in staging at that point. You could search for it in the .config, and set NUM_CRTCS to 2.


Section "Monitor"

         EndSubSection

Using the udlfb driver and an xorg.conf for the Lilliput USB 7" screen
there is no problem, LXDE is up and running and CRTL-ALT-F1 etc. all
OK,  but I need the USB screen for the Beaglebone.

The other option is to figure out why it's not working with omapfb. Could you add a CONFIG_OMAP2_DSS_DEBUG in order to get additional DSS prints?


root@panda:/etc/X11# grep HDMI /1/ubuntu-raring/.config
CONFIG_OMAP4_DSS_HDMI=y

ONFIG_ARCH_OMAP4=y
CONFIG_MACH_OMAP4_PANDA=y

root@panda:~# [34587.439270] omapdss error: timeout reading edid
[34587.445220] omapfb omapfb: failed to allocate framebuffer

The debug prints will help with the edid timeout. About the allocation of buffers, I think it should work if you enable CMA. And set CONFIG_CMA_SIZE_MBYTES to say, 24 Mb. That should allocate the buffers successfully.
